Mr. Chairman, thank you once again.
I'd like to go back to the noise issue raised earlier by Mr. Storseth. A number of the affected parties with respect to rail noise in the country have come to see us or have spoken to us by teleconference, and have said that there are two weak features in this bill with respect to noise. To a certain extent, you're also in the noise business, and I'm sure you manage community expectations and challenges on that front.
The first issue they raise is the applicability of municipal bylaws to noise generated by rail companies. The second has to do with the sanctionability of the bill in terms of what kinds of sanctions are available to the CTA with respect to penalizing or pursuing rail companies.
Can you give us a sense of what you deal with every day in managing on both those fronts? Do you think it's a competitive disadvantage? You're in different businesses, but are you having to deal with things that another segment of the economy doesn't deal with?
You deal with this issue, I'm sure, every day. Can you comment generally on those two aspects of the noise question?
