The Quebec government has ordered companies connected to the Lac-Mégantic train disaster to pick up the tab for cleanup and decontamination after the deadly derailment spewed an estimated 5.7-million litres of crude oil into the environment.
The legal notice, announced Monday afternoon by provincial environment minister Yves- François Blanchet, names the Canadian and American offices of railway company Montreal, Maine & Atlantic, and the American firms Western Petroleum Company and its parent, World Fuel Services.
