Hello everyone.
This week is rail safety week.
It’s a week where we remember those who lost their lives or were badly injured on railway tracks.
In Canada, that represents over 100 people a year.
And that is too much.
As we mark the 20th anniversary of Rail Safety Week, I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that safety must always be the priority.
Together, we can put an end to rail tragedies.
