Transport committee Yes, we in Alberta have what's called the core audit completed annually, and that's by a third party.

Transport committee There are a number of different levels of permitting with regard to designing and building of the facility. The fire department would certainly be involved, and within Calgary the municipality and Transport Canada were also involved in approving the design and with regard to the

Transport committee The final approval was done prior to my joining the company, but I believe the final approval did come from Transport Canada and the City of Calgary.

Transport committee From a driving perspective, our drivers all have to complete a pre-trip of their unit prior to leaving one of our facilities or one of our yards or a rest area where they may have slept for the night. They have to do a complete pre-trip, which includes doing a mechanical check, c

Transport committee All companies are obliged to do this. It's a regulation.

Transport committee Prior to accepting a new delivery point, we do what we call a journey management plan. We have one of our safety professionals actually physically drive the route that one of our drivers would take, after they load the product, to the delivery site and they identify any hazards,

Transport committee Yes. We were active with Transport Canada when we first designed the facility. We'll have periodic audits from them as well in terms of how we're operating.

Grant Mitchell
Transport committee From our perspective, we feel it's very well controlled by moving product by truck. As mentioned, specific to our oil patch operations, we operate in a radius of 75 miles. It's from the wellhead to rail yard or wellhead to pipeline, so it's very well controlled. I couldn't speak

Transport committee We will not be able to move the volumes long distances and be able to provide as efficient a service as rail or pipeline. Our place in the oil patch is definitely shorter haul.
November 4th, 2014Committee meeting
Grant Mitchell
Transport committee It would not be efficient. You think about some of the rail or pipeline movements today. Rail is going from western Canada to Saint John, New Brunswick, and that's just not feasible by truck.
November 4th, 2014Committee meeting
