Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thanks to our witnesses.
Last week we had very extensive hearings on the issue of noise from both community groups and some cities. There seem to be two proposals on how to regulate or make the legislation stronger in dealing with railway noise, particularly in residential areas. The first is to restrict certain types of activities on rail lines to daylight hours or office hours. A second is to limit the decibel levels from railway lines.
I know this is not directly related to what you've come to speak to us about, but I am interested in knowing if you have an opinion on whether one approach is better than the other, or whether you feel both approaches are valid or not.
