Mr. Dhaliwal, we certainly support anonymous reporting. I had this discussion, actually, with senior union officers at the last meeting of the minister's Advisory Council on Railway Safety. Unfortunately, if we put all our eggs in anonymous reporting, then we've kind of missed the boat on safety culture, because of course as part of safety culture, what we want to develop is that relationship between our employees and the front-line supervisors--we're not there yet, and we have more work to do, without question—so that our employees can talk to our front-line supervisors and say they have a concern, they have an issue, and the front-line supervisor can then react appropriately.
As part of that, we've developed a program that we call SaFE, which just stands for safety for everyone, in which management is not directly involved at all. The employees do the observations of their fellow employees. We give them training in terms of how to interact with employees when they're doing something well and also when they're doing something that needs to be corrected. Then those committees, the SaFE committees at each terminal, gather the data and report on trends and look for things they should investigate.
In terms of reporting to Transport Canada, sir, our employees have every right now to report any concern they have to Transport Canada. All we've asked is that we be given a chance. I've said it myself to our policy, health, and safety committee: if you think we're doing something wrong, if you think we're not giving the employees every opportunity to bring concerns forward, or if you think we've been too heavy handed in how we've dealt with an employee, if you're not getting satisfaction anywhere else, call me. Call me personally and I will get involved. But in terms of reporting to Transport Canada, sir, I would suggest that they certainly have that right now, and they use it.
