Several federal statutes play a role in the regulation of railways in Canada, particularly the Railway Safety Act and the regulations and rules made pursuant to it, such as the Grade Crossings Regulations and the Railway Safety Administrative Monetary Penalties Regulations.
The Tribunal hears reviews and appeals of Federal administrative and enforcement actions taken under the Act. Regulatory amendments, including the creation of administrative monetary penalties, have led to enforcement actions in the rail sector.
