Transport committee  That's against one rail company. Double it for CP.

Transport committee  I have a fairly good example of what this would be. If someone has a rules violation, say an engineer or one of the maintenance employees who has track protection, and he violates the CROR, the Canadian rail operating rules, and nobody knows--he doesn't tell anybody--how do you

Transport committee  Mr. Bevington, you asked if the money that was budgeted for the level crossings was enough. It will never be enough as long as we have railways, if you have level crossings. Any time the public or road traffic intersects with a railway, there's a danger. But it's going to go a lo

Transport committee  Yes.

Transport committee  I wouldn't argue that with you, Brother.

Transport committee  Yes, Sukh, it's more prevalent now than ever before. I remember a couple of years ago when you came with us to see the guys in Coquitlam, the bridge and building department. Two of our members were called in by their supervisor the next day and were asked why a member of Parliame

Transport committee  I can't talk about how much it will cost Transport Canada to do it. It will be up to their budget. I'm willing to fight for a bigger budget for Transport Canada any time. The necessity goes without saying. Luc Bourdon brought up Securitas. You made a very good point when you sa

Transport committee  I would say Transport Canada, not the Transportation Safety Board.

Transport committee  Thank you, Phil. Members of the committee, Mr. Chairman, honoured guests, good afternoon. This is not my strong suit, so bear with me. I'm a track monkey by trade, and public speaking isn't my strength. My name is William Brehl, and I'm the elected national president of the Te

Transport committee  It's not right now, not at this time.

Transport committee  I'd just like to say that every study I've looked at--and there have been quite a few, I think, since 1987 when I saw the first one--has stated that high-speed rail has to be a part of an integrated transportation system and network. It can't stand alone to get full benefit.

Transport committee  I haven't done a lot of studying of other countries, but as I understand it, high-speed rail is in other countries that have cold climates as well without a problem. It also depends on what type of rail system you're going to go to. If you go to the maglev, the magnetic levitatio

Transport committee  I'll let Mr. Benson answer that.

Transport committee  Honoured members of the committee, ladies and gentlemen, my name is William Brehl. I'm the president of the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference maintenance of way employees division. Our division represents all of the men and women who build, inspect, and maintain the track, bridges

Transport committee  The training systems at CP are good when they're utilized for our people, for the engineering services. But I assume they believe they're too expensive to run very much training. They try to get by on the cheap. As Mr. Cotie pointed out, our people on the ground at CP know nothi
