Madam Chair, I would like to return to the event in Field in 2019.
If I understood Mr. Keenan's comments correctly, following that event Transport Canada put in place a regulatory requirement that hand brakes be applied on trains left unattended on certain grades. Two years later, another train was left without the hand brakes applied. Transport Canada found that there was an “immediate threat” of another fatal accident.
In your comments you suggested that there was a misinterpretation of Transport Canada's regulations by the rail company. What was that misinterpretation? Also, who is at fault when it comes to the event in 2021?
