Municipalities want to know what is in the tanker cars before they travel through cities so that firefighters, as first responders, will know what to do in the event of an accident. That also goes for several other areas, for the sake of prevention and ensuring that emergency plans are in place. One of the concerns of the City of Sherbrooke\u2014and other Canadian cities, I am sure\u2014is finding out what is on those trains in order to better respond in the event of an accident. At present cities do not know what the trains are carrying.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4096617\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Does my colleague believe that ideally the government should create laws and regulations that require rail carriers to inform cities of what is on the trains so they can provide an appropriate response in the event of an accident?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4096615\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie ma coll\u00e8gue de son discours. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4096616\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Pas plus tard qu'en fin de semaine, une inqui\u00e9tude a \u00e9t\u00e9 soulev\u00e9e \u00e0 Sherbrooke, un endroit tr\u00e8s proche de Lac-M\u00e9gantic: on ne sait pas ce qui se trouve dans les fameux wagons-citernes qui sont derri\u00e8re les locomotives. Les municipalit\u00e9s souhaitent savoir ce qui se trouve dans ces wagons-citernes avant qu'ils ne passent dans le villes, pour que les pompiers, en tant que premiers r\u00e9pondants, puissent savoir comment r\u00e9agir en cas d'accident. Cela est vrai dans plusieurs autres domaines, pour pr\u00e9venir et s'assurer que les plans d'urgence sont mis en place. L'une des pr\u00e9occupations de la Ville de Sherbrooke \u2014 et des autres Villes du Canada , j'en suis s\u00fbr \u2014, c'est de savoir ce qui se trouve dans ces trains pour pouvoir mieux r\u00e9pondre en cas d'accident. Ce n'est pas le cas pour l'instant. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4096617\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ma coll\u00e8gue croit-elle que l'id\u00e9al serait que le gouvernement mette en place des lois et des r\u00e8glements qui obligent les transporteurs ferroviaires \u00e0 informer les Villes de ce qui se trouve sur les rails, pour qu'il y ait une r\u00e9ponse ad\u00e9quate en cas d'accident?</p>"
