520 |a"Rail is traditionally a safe method of transportation, but accidents – particularly those involving dangerous goods – can have serious consequences. Canada’s worst rail accident in history, involving a derailment and crude oil explosion in downtown Lac-Mégantic, Quebec, took place in 2013. The derailments and toxic spills into Lake Wabumum, Alberta, and the Cheakamus River in British Columbia in 2005 and the derailment and chemical explosion in Mississauga, Ontario in 1979 also illustrate the potential for disaster when dangerous goods travel by rail through environmentally sensitive or densely populated areas. Therefore, the House of Commons Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities (“TRAN” or “the Committee”) decided on rail safety as its first study of the 42nd Parliament”--Intro., p. 1.
