"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4043035\" data-originallang=\"en\">The reason that in my remarks today I went beyond Bill <a data-HoCid=\"6695159\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-627/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Railway Safety Act (safety of persons and property)\">C-627</a> is precisely because I think there are a number of proactive steps that legislators can take with respect to crossing safety. There are a number of very important changes that need to be made if we're going to improve crossing safety in this country. The TSB has already pointed out that we have not reduced the amount of accidents at crossings over the last 10 years. We have essentially plateaued. If we're going to make those kinds of safety improvements, we have to look at closing crossings, at changing the governance on opening and closing, and so on. </p>",

Si nous voulons accro\u00eetre la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 ferroviaire au pays, nous devrons apporter un certain nombre de changements tr\u00e8s importants. L'OTC a d\u00e9j\u00e0 soulign\u00e9 que nous n'avions pas r\u00e9duit le nombre d'accidents aux passages \u00e0 niveau au cours des 10 derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es. Nous avons essentiellement atteint un plateau. Si nous souhaitons prendre des mesures pour accro\u00eetre la s\u00e9curit\u00e9, nous devons examiner les passages \u00e0 niveau, envisager de modifier les r\u00e8gles de gouvernance applicables \u00e0 l'ouverture et \u00e0 la fermeture, etc.</p>"
