Transport committee  Yes, we've seen that. Sorry, we missed the last few minutes. We were disconnected for some reason, so I didn't hear the answers from Mr. Picard. We won't enter into a contract like that, and we certainly have seen a shipper go to a different carrier whom we can only assume did

Transport committee  We're not aware of any regulation that would cover this, but we train our drivers in defensive driving using what we call our Smith principles. It our drivers to be very aware of their surroundings, including those blind spots.

Transport committee  That starts with our journey management program. All that information is documented and provided to our drivers each time they are dispatched on a trip. They see that the changing speed zones as they're going through a community, and that there may be a school zone or a hospital

Transport committee  It's hard to tell. In our case, we have a very widespread campaign to educate our drivers not only in the regulations but more so in terms of, “Here are the reasons why, and here's what can happen”. There's a very nice video that we've used a lot called “The Last Text”. It's of r

Transport committee  We would address this in a number of different ways. First, it would start with our journey management plan, about which I spoke earlier, so that we understand all the risks along the route. The second piece would be ensuring that we have suitable third-party relationships, in th

Transport committee  Again, in the way we operate our program we're always in touch with our units and our drivers through satellite communication, and so access to reporting is very quick. Based on that and depending on where it might happen, our safety and maintenance professionals would be engaged

Transport committee  There are two ways. Minor notifications from the on-board technology aren't necessarily addressed in real time, but compiled and reviewed monthly at the home terminal of that driver. So there's a progressive training program in place that would address minor notifications. If the

Transport committee  At RTL-Westcan we support regulations for electronic logging. Our fleet is about 90% complete in terms of electronic logging devices and on-board technology. By February of next year we'll be 100% complete with electronic logging devices in all our vehicles.

Transport committee  We would support that as well.

Transport committee  As we were [Inaudible--Editor] to their organization, it definitely was a decision to make sure that we understood best practices and how to implement them into our operation to continue to allow us to grow in a safe manner.

Transport committee  I think they can be incorporated into the national safety code, and perhaps the current code could be something that is revisited on an annual basis based on what they see in the industry.

Transport committee  Yes, we would report that immediately to the provincial environment authorities if there was a release of product.

Transport committee  I was going to add to that. As carriers we have a carrier profile, which is federally monitored. Anything from accidents to a speeding ticket or a vehicle fine, all that is tracked on a monthly basis. Obviously, the history is maintained.

Transport committee  First of all, it's not regulated as far as we are aware. This is a practice we follow and have for a number of years. We do, however, know of many companies similar to us that follow the same practice. Some of our customers do regulate it. In terms of how many times we would re

Transport committee  It may be a bit of a challenge to make that mandatory. I think, from a private industry perspective, when it comes to site deliveries, we need as an industry to make sure we're doing our due diligence. I think it may be difficult to regulate something like this.
