I may direct this next question to the deputy minister.
When this committee was called on in the summer to consider whether to look at the aspect of rail transport and rail safety, it was important at the time that we had departmental officials in the field, both in terms of the investigating of potential breaches to the Railway Safety Act and in assisting other government officials in investigations relative to Lac-Mégantic. If we were to embark on a study, would officials be available to this committee to give us their expertise?
