"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3483590\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, we take the health and safety of Canadians in the rail system very seriously. That is why we have issued emergency directives on the advice of the Transportation Safety Board. That is why we have issued two protective directions in the past six weeks on the same matter. That is why we asked the transport committee to study the transportation of dangerous goods and specifically, the matter of safety management systems. That is why we enhanced the resources available for the department. We are working very hard on rail safety and the facts and figures show it. There was a 10% decrease in rail accidents in the past five years under our government and a 41% decrease in derailments. </p>",

Voil\u00e0 pourquoi nous avons pris des injonctions minist\u00e9rielles suivant la recommandation du Bureau de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 des transports. Voil\u00e0 pourquoi nous avons pris deux ordres pr\u00e9ventifs portant sur la m\u00eame question au cours des six derni\u00e8res semaines. Voil\u00e0 pourquoi nous avons demand\u00e9 au comit\u00e9 des transports de se pencher sur le transport de marchandises dangereuses et, plus pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment, sur la question des syst\u00e8mes de gestion de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9. Voil\u00e0 pourquoi nous allouons davantage de ressources au minist\u00e8re. Nous d\u00e9ployons bien des efforts pour assurer la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 ferroviaire, et les chiffres le montrent. Au cours des cinq derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, les accidents ferroviaires ont diminu\u00e9 de 10 % et les d\u00e9raillements, de 41 %.</p>"
