We take these issues very seriously. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3401432\" data-originallang=\"en\">I will point out that safety has actually improved over the decade. However, we have listened to the recommendations in the report and the <a data-HoCid=\"191921\" href=\"/politicians/denis-lebel/\" title=\"Denis Lebel\">Minister of Transport</a> is encouraging the Railway Association of Canada, CN and CP to install recording devices. It would be a big help.</p>",

Nous prenons ce dossier tr\u00e8s au s\u00e9rieux.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3401432\" data-originallang=\"en\">Toutefois, je signale que la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 s'est am\u00e9lior\u00e9e depuis une d\u00e9cennie. Quoi qu'il en soit, nous avons \u00e9cout\u00e9 les recommandations formul\u00e9es dans le rapport, et le <a data-HoCid=\"191921\" href=\"/politicians/denis-lebel/\" title=\"Denis Lebel\">ministre des Transports</a> encourage l'Association des chemins de fer du Canada, le CN et le CP \u00e0 installer des dispositifs d'enregistrement, puisqu'une telle mesure aiderait sensiblement \u00e0 am\u00e9liorer la s\u00e9curit\u00e9.</p>"
