Okay, thank you very much.

Mr. Gauthier and Mr. Paquette, the federal government regulates the rail system in Canada.

This may be beyond your scope, but I think it is important to highlight what the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) does.

Since 2010, the TTC has been doing random drug and alcohol testing. Now, they did it; the federal government didn't put in any laws saying they should do it. Why do we need to...? I mean I understand the prima facie reason to do it as a federal government, but what is stopping rail companies from implementing something similar to what the TTC has done?
