        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1366537\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, safety management systems are very important to this bill. The deregulation of the railroad industry has allowed safety management systems to be implemented. A recent rail traffic study talked about the culture of intimidation and fear that was felt by railroad workers who are supposed to report to the system. Deregulation is very important to this aspect because the components connect together.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1366538\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Conservatives are arguing that they are doing this for public safety on one side, but let me give a specific example of what they are doing with deregulation on the other side and the consequences.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1366539\" data-originallang=\"en\">CP Rail has filed to fire and move 25 safety inspector officers in Windsor. They will be relocated elsewhere. There will not be an evaluation of rail transportation support from Chicago to Toronto and to Montreal. In between will be left vacant. The minister has yet to respond to this issue to protect those jobs. There has been a refiling request from CP Rail. The reality is that in the upcoming weeks, there could be the potential withdrawal of these workers. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1366540\" data-originallang=\"en\">How can we be saying to the United States that we want to do this and at the same time take away inspection for all of southern Ontario?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1366537\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, les syst\u00e8mes de gestion de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 sont tr\u00e8s importants dans ce projet de loi. La d\u00e9r\u00e9glementation de l'industrie ferroviaire a permis la mise en place de syst\u00e8mes de gestion de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9. Dans une r\u00e9cente \u00e9tude sur la circulation ferroviaire, il est question de la culture d'intimidation et de la peur ressentie par les travailleurs ferroviaires qui sont cens\u00e9s faire rapport dans le cadre de ces syst\u00e8mes. La d\u00e9r\u00e9glementation est tr\u00e8s importante \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard, car les \u00e9l\u00e9ments sont interreli\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1366538\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les conservateurs disent faire cela pour la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 publique, mais je vais vous donner un exemple pr\u00e9cis de ce qu'ils font par ailleurs avec la d\u00e9r\u00e9glementation et des cons\u00e9quences que cela a.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1366539\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le Canadien Pacifique a fait une demande de d\u00e9rogation en vue de licencier et de muter 25 inspecteurs de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 \u00e0 Windsor. Ils seront relocalis\u00e9s. Il n'y aura pas d'\u00e9valuation du soutien du transport ferroviaire entre Chicago et Toronto, et Montr\u00e9al. Il n'y aura pas d'inspection entre ces villes. Le ministre n'a pas encore r\u00e9agi afin de prot\u00e9ger ces emplois. Le Canadien Pacifique a fait une nouvelle demande de d\u00e9rogation. La r\u00e9alit\u00e9 est que, au cours des prochaines semaines, ces travailleurs pourraient \u00eatre retir\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1366540\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comment pouvons-nous dire aux \u00c9tats-Unis que nous voulons assurer la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 et, en m\u00eame temps, supprimer toutes les activit\u00e9s d'inspection dans tout le Sud de l'Ontario?</p>"
