Yes, I have a specific comment I'd like to make about the observations here at Lulu Island.
In March of this year, we experienced with CN Rail an increase in the total amount of locomotives parked in this yard. CN has been approached at various intervals about extending their shop track. They've never done that--to the best of my knowledge, at least. Currently, there are more locomotives in this yard than shop track. The reason why that's at issue is that there's not sufficient spill trays to accommodate this many locomotives and there's a small drainage ditch directly next to the shop track that directly feeds into the north arm of the Fraser River. I view this as a very serious environmental issue that has never been adequately addressed.
With respect to the secondary issue that ties into the fumes, I'd simply like to use the example of my neighbour, Lynda Parsons, who's directly adjacent to my house. She asked me to come over recently and take a look at something she noticed. I stood in front of her house, and the entire roof of her house is permeated with black stains that she believes are diesel exhaust residue. Her home is actually stained at this point because of the amount of time that locomotives spend idling in close proximity to her home.
So there are significant environmental issues tied with this whole bill that I think need to be addressed as well.
