Thank you very much.
Mr. Keenan, I looked at the number of accidents recorded in the Auditor General's report. Of course, it talks about the ones that happened in 2019, and there have been improvements since then. Regardless, you can see the numbers: the number of collisions, derailments and crossing accidents, for example.
Is there any way to know the magnitude or significance of these collisions? Is Transport Canada able to determine whether these were serious or minor accidents?
How can we determine where the real risks are in rail transportation? There may be minor accidents, but they are still accounted for. An accident is considered serious once the damage caused is more than $10,000. However, that amount is quickly reached. A train that derails in the middle of a field will cause damage in excess of $10,000, but the safety risks will not be the same as in other situations.
Do you have access to this data?
