OTTAWA – Le Parti vert du Canada demande une loi pour donner \u00e0 VIA Rail un mandat ad\u00e9quat pour offrir un transport ferroviaire s\u00e9curitaire, fiable, \u00e0 faible \u00e9mission de carbone et abordable partout au Canada.<\/p>
\u00c0 la Chambre des communes cette semaine, la chef parlementaire Elizabeth May (d\u00e9put\u00e9e de Saanich-Gulf Islands) a d\u00e9pos\u00e9 le projet de loi d'initiative parlementaire C-236 : la Loi sur VIA Rail Canada. S'il est adopt\u00e9, ce projet de loi placera le transporteur ferroviaire national du Canada sur un pied d'\u00e9galit\u00e9 avec Amtrak aux \u00c9tats-Unis, qui fonctionne en vertu d'une loi qui l'oblige \u00e0 fournir des services ferroviaires voyageurs dans l’ensemble pays. Au Canada, VIA Rail fonctionne comme une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 d'\u00c9tat sans aucun mandat. <\/p>
« J'adore voyager en train », a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Mme May. «Je sais que de nombreuses personnes des r\u00e9gions plus \u00e9loign\u00e9es et rurales comptent sur le train, malgr\u00e9 le faible niveau de service. Cependant, en tant que fan de VIA Rail, je remarque que tous les investissements r\u00e9cents sont all\u00e9s au corridor Windsor-Qu\u00e9bec. »<\/p>
« Je crains que VIA Rail ne vende et ne privatise les liaisons continentales – de Vancouver \u00e0 Toronto et de Montr\u00e9al \u00e0 Halifax. Comme il n'y a pas de service d'autobus partout au Canada, nous devons prot\u00e9ger notre service national de transport ferroviaire».<\/p>
Le chef int\u00e9rimaire du Parti vert Amita Kuttner a soulign\u00e9 que les demandes de l'Enqu\u00eate sur les femmes et les filles autochtones disparues et assassin\u00e9es concernant un transport terrestre fiable et abordable n'ont pas \u00e9t\u00e9 satisfaites. <\/p>
« VIA Rail traverse de nombreuses r\u00e9gions dans lesquelles il s’agit de la seule option pour les Autochtones autre que l'auto-stop », a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Mme Kuttner. « N\u00e9anmoins, m\u00eame dans ce cas, le service est peu fr\u00e9quent. Seulement deux \u00e0 trois trains par semaine circulent dans de nombreux endroits. Nous devons investir dans la modernisation du transport ferroviaire pour le rendre s\u00e9curitaire, \u00e0 faible \u00e9mission de carbone et pratique. »<\/p>
