Garneau is ordering his department to take a fresh look at the data on school bus safety and seatbelts to see if new regulations are needed. ( Adrian Wyld / THE CANADIAN PRESS )The government was put on the defensive Monday after an investigation from the CBC show “The Fifth Estate” suggested federal regulations about school bus safety restraints were based on out-of-date and incomplete information. Canada doesn’t currently require seatbelts on school buses, but did introduce new guidelines in late June to regulate their use by bus operators who choose to install them. However, Garneau said he was willing to take another look at the data on bus safety.
