Gerard McDonald

Transport committee  I'm not sure that we do have those type of numbers. We'd have to ask those administrations for their statistics.

November 27th, 2013Committee meeting

Gerard McDonald

Transport committee  I think the biggest concern is getting the parties to work together on potential solutions. As you correctly point out, while proximity issues were identified as something—even under the Railway Safety Act review—that we should look at, we just don't have the legislative construc

Gerard McDonald

Transport committee  It can be anywhere. Obviously there are high volumes of dangerous goods moving across the country every day, so we try to focus on those areas that pose the highest risk.

We have an inspection program, and we will verify that goods have, indeed, been classifi

November 27th, 2013Committee meeting

Gerard McDonald

Transport committee  Certainly, we have a detailed inspection plan for the TDG directorate, which is based on risk.
