Other measures are being taken to reduce railway accidents including a complete review of safety provisions in the Railway Act. New equipment at level crossings and grade separation work at these points ac- count for upwards of $35 -million annually. Provincial and municipal road authorities contribute additional funds to these pro- jects. Still other measures are being taken to reduce the possibility of accidents involv- ing the transportation of dangerous goods. Of major significance in the area of transport safety would be the separation of accident investigation in the rail and marine mode from the current regulatory bodies. This would remove , any possibility of perceived conflict of interest and ensure an independent examination of all the issues during an investigation. This has already been acomplished in the air mode with for- mation of the Canadian Aviation Safety Board. "Safety has been and continues tobe the number one priority of my mandate as Transport Minister. I will not compromise when it comes to the safety of Canadians." said Mr. Mazankowski.
