Thank you very much to all witnesses.
I was particularly hit by your comment, Mr. Allen, about what happens when we put schools in places where there are existing roads. Obviously, we don't sit down and try to mediate all of the traffic. What we do is once the school is put into place, we limit the speed limit, we take away the truck route, we ensure that parking regulations are in place during school hours. In fact, there is a whole range of regulations that we put in, and it is very similar to what you've been talking about in terms of railways.
Railways may have been there prior to Westminster Quay and other residential developments, but the reality is it's now our responsibility to ensure that residents in those areas live in the best possible conditions. So I thought that particular parallel you drew, Mr. Allen, was particularly convincing. We need to make sure that the folks in Westminster Quay and other places across the country are well taken care of. So I just want to thank all the witnesses.
Getting back to the issue of mediation, I'd like just a brief comment from whichever witness would like to say something on this. But obviously, in the case where we're talking about multiple railways, despite being the preferred route to take for the government, mediation is just completely impractical--
