I want to thank the Office of the Auditor General representatives for being here.
My question will concern rail safety.
In your whole report, we see that a certain number of recommendations on safety trends have been followed, but nothing is said about the quality of that monitoring. I just mean that one of the fundamental elements of the recommendations presented to the Department of Transport was the addition of a fixed sense and breaking unit system—an SBU— which enables trains to automatically slow down in areas with controlled speeds. The system is guided by a GPS. That is the first request all the stakeholders made to reduce the number of accidents.
Unfortunately, that request—which is more important than all the other requests put together—has not received a response. You said that the Department of Transport employees had serious problems in terms of qualifications. Are they even able to understand the technical nature of this important technological trend in the establishment of transportation safety? That would explain the fact that they have not implemented it.
