Thanks, Mr. Chair, and thanks for your indulgence and your patience as well.
Good morning, gentlemen. I want to pick up on a few specific points.
I think it was Mr. Demers who made the point about advance notice of dangerous goods in saying that your municipality ought to know in advance. That's the position the Liberal Party has taken since we heard about the discussions between the government and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. It didn't seem to make any sense to advise municipalities after the fact, 90 or 120 days after the fact, that dangerous goods had circulated through municipalities.
Have you made your views known to the FCM and can you give us some insight? I haven't been able to get any insight from the FCM with regard to their positioning on this.
