Obviously, safety is always of extreme importance, and we appreciate the work you do, but we have a finite amount of resources. We want to make sure those resources are put in places where you get maximum results.
We have two incidents and zero fatalities at farm crossings. We're hearing from the Ontario Federation of Agriculture—feel free to dispute this—that some of these crossings, to bring them up to the new standards, will cost farmers between $600,000 and $2 million, and then $10,000 a year in an annual maintenance fee. This will put farms out of business.
If we're not accomplishing anything, or we're accomplishing very little, from a safety perspective, but we are putting farmers out of business, you can see where that is an issue. At the very least, as per a letter that we are sending out, perhaps a delay and further study before we start shutting down railways might be in order.
Could you comment on that?
