M-594 Security measures for train carrying dangerous goods

41st Parliament, 2nd Session

Motion Text

That, in the opinion of the House, the government should: (a) set stringent criteria for the operation of trains carrying dangerous goods, including requiring railway companies to conduct route planning and analysis, and to perform risk assessments; (b) ensure that such risk-control measures are effective by making them public; and (c) ensure that Transport Canada’s policies require railway companies carrying dangerous goods to use routing that provides greater safety to the greater number of people, and to operate at speeds which provide the greatest safety where risk can be mitigated by reductions in speed.
