Thank you, and good afternoon everyone.
This is meeting 16 of the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities. Following the orders of the day, we're here to deal with Bill C-11, an act to amend the Canada Transportation Act and the Railway Safety Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts.
Joining us today are Gilles Dufault, Joan MacDonald, and Seymour Isenberg from the Canadian Transportation Agency.
As we are right on schedule, I would ask that you make your opening presentation, and the committee will then have some questions for you following that.
Mr. Dufault, the floor is yours.
