Who services derailments in Canada?

RJ Corman and Hulcher are the two big names in the US. Who does the same type of work in Canada? I've witnessed two derailments... both in the 70s, and at that time both were handled by the railroads themselves.

CN uses Tervita to clean up a lot of messes out here.  They are also a railroad customer with their own fleet of scrap cars, under the reporting mark TRVX.

I'm pretty sure Hulcher works here too.
