Transport committee  As far as what our stated objectives are?

Transport committee  Before I spoke on the company's behalf, I'd have to consult with the company, but personally, I would not have any objection to people knowing that, no.

Transport committee  Certainly. Mr. McGuinty, I would say that I am not seized day to day with the audits that have not been performed at Transport Canada. In my experience with Transport Canada, I've never had an inspector or any Transport Canada officer hesitate to issue a notice or notice of an or

Transport committee  Absolutely. CP has been an advocate for sharing liability for some time. We've actually pushed for this. We've been a leader in the industry on this issue and this topic. We have secured all the insurance that we can provide. Some of the products that we carry, some of these cata

Transport committee  CP’s was $6 billion.

Transport committee  He definitely intends to replace the tanker cars. As far as transition is concerned, it will take a couple of years to be able to do it. An exact timeframe we have not come to yet, but we are in the process of developing that. A key point to remember, though, is that the tanker

Transport committee  Good morning, Mr. Chairman. I'd like to thank you for the opportunity to discuss rail safety and safety management systems today. In the interest of time, I cannot get into all the elements of rail safety, especially the regulatory regime. However, I do understand you'll be hea

Agriculture committee  From CP's perspective, I think what people don't clearly understand is that this winter affected many other commodities than just grain. You have tremendous amounts of pent-up demand to move. You have more potash to move, you have more coal to move, and you have more merchandise

Agriculture committee  We'll share that with the minister's office. I think that would be appropriate in fairness to the grain companies. Turning quickly to a couple of your points, for the record, I didn't say that this grain supply chain could handle 80 million tonnes. It's going to take tremendous

Agriculture committee  The only way to effectively make this work and make it complete is to compel all those players—the elevators in the country, the port terminal operators, the grain companies—to come to the table so that we can sit down together and identify capacity opportunities. That has not

Agriculture committee  It should not have to be done through regulation. We've made a call and we've made ourselves available to do this many times. There just has not been the commitment or the desire to make it happen.

Agriculture committee  I'll simply reiterate my point: bring all the players to the table. Compel all the players to come with the same commitment and the same expectation and we can solve this problem.

Agriculture committee  I would say this: From my view at CP, it was not necessary. We're effectively moving under the order in council the same amount of grain that we were moving without it back in September, October and November, until this weather started. With that said, if it is necessary, and it'

Agriculture committee  Let me start by saying it's unfortunate that perception exists among the farmers in Canada. I was not in New York. I did not hear Mr. Harrison's comments. It would be inappropriate for me to comment. But I can tell you the reality of what happens day to day at our railway. In ou

Agriculture committee  Yes, sir, if may, I have a couple of comments. I'll step back to the comments about the history of CP. Unfortunately, I've only been at CP for about 13 or 14 months, so I can't speak to the history, but I can speak to the mandate. That's exactly what our mandate is, what my man
