Lillico has started an online petition urging Transport Canada to make seatbelts inside school buses mandatory. Transport Canada had conducted another study in 2010 that showed that school buses without seatbelts had "failed" safety tests. Transport Canada has since stated on its website that seatbelts, when worn properly, do "offer added protection for school-age children." Transportation Minister Marc Garneau launched a task force looking into safety improvements that can be applied to Canadian school buses. 's Ministry of Transportation said it's working with Transport Canada, as well as the other provinces and territories, to arrive at a solution.
