Bill C45, also known as the Westray Bill, amended the Criminal Code of Canada to include criminal negligence charges for workplace health and safety violations. It applies to all workplaces under federal jurisdiction and to those in provinces with equivalent laws. As Canadian Rails is a federally regulated company, Bill C45 would be the legal body regulating the health and safety criminal negligence charges in this situation.
