Thank you very much.
As a backdrop to the fiscal year audit of 2011-12, I have the Transportation Safety Board's statistics on railway safety with me here. In 2011, the number of railway accidents was down by 5% versus 2010, and down 10% versus the five-year average—I'm quoting from the Transportation Safety Board, not from the report, actually—and the number of accidents involving transportation of dangerous goods was down 16% versus 2010 and down 25% over the five-year average.
For the year 2012, according to the Transportation Safety Board, the number of railway accidents was down slightly again versus 2011. They were down 10% from the five-year average. Also, the number of accidents involving the transportation of dangerous goods was unchanged versus 2011 and down 20% over the five-year average.
So railway safety has been improving, including during the time of the audit itself.
Mr. Ferguson, you appeared at the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities on December 4 of 2013 in relation to the report we're currently talking about. At the time, you said you'd received Transport Canada's action plan, I think in the last week in November 2013, as you testified, but at the time of December 4, you hadn't yet reviewed Transport Canada's action plan. Have you since and do you care to comment briefly on its contents?
