The government of the Canadian province of Quebec has added Canadian Pacific Railway to the list of companies it says should help pay clean-up costs after an oil tanker train disaster in July that killed 47 people.
The train, operated by Montreal, Maine & Atlantic (MMA), derailed and blew up in the eastern Quebec town of Lac-Megantic on July 6, spilling some 1.48 million U.S. gallons of oil.
MMA filed for bankruptcy protection last week.
