Transport Canada takes care of CN without us. We don't have any inspection rights.

Thank you very much.
I want to commend you, as Mr. Christopherson did, but also our Auditor General's department for very good work, and for a meeting that I felt was very informational.
All of us, I think, understand better the work, the challenges, the measures that you're going to be putting in place to improve, and also to be certain of the safety that has been mentioned.
Thank you very much for your attendance here today. If after leaving here you all of a sudden think you could have given a little more information on an answer or you could have supplemented an answer to help the committee do their work, we will be doing a report on this, and any further information would be greatly appreciated. You could send it to our clerk.
We're going to suspend for two minutes just to allow members to thank our guests and allow them to leave, and we will come back on some very important committee business.
