On the question of financing, the rail safety improvement program that has been administered at TC for many years is a very useful program because it provides proponents with opportunities to have access to public funds in the interest of safety. When I say “proponents”, I mean not only railways, but also public roads, municipalities and provinces, essentially. That program is a very effective one because grade crossings are the location where the traffic of roads and rail conflict. Therefore, the safer you make grade crossings, the safer you make operations for both modes of transportation.
