Absolument. The answer to an earlier question from your colleague is a good answer to your question about infrastructure.
We are very supportive of the federal and Quebec governments' conclusion of an arrangement to spend up to $100 million on infrastructure in Quebec, where I think we can make some real improvements to the quality of the track and various facilities that can help take some trucks off the road and help alleviate some environmental congestion pressures.
On the issues of noise and the handling of dangerous goods, one of the proposals I spoke about today was the establishment of a new rail technology development fund. By putting the excise fuel tax into that fund we can look at new technologies that can help with noise evasion and minimization. There are some ideas out there in which we would be very interested in investing. If we had a better CCA regime we would also be better able to invest in those things. Our members are very keen to make some of those investments.
There's a lot of work going on in the area of handling dangerous goods. We're looking at ways to move those cars more quickly so that they don't sit on a siding close to residences for a very long time, and so that they keep moving. That minimizes the risk and helps keep residents more comfortable.
We have a major agreement with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities to address noise issues. We're working very closely with Westmount and a number of other municipalities in Quebec, which are very keen and supportive of that initiative, by the way, and which are helping to lead that initiative, which I think will help on the proximity front as well.
