I'll give you an example, Mr. McGuinty.
The people in Gatineau were very upset about the Quebec Gatineau Railway, and I've heard of other instances. Transport 2000 has some interests in Gatineau, and we spoke with Transport Canada. They brought forward the fact that they have a mediation service, and that even though this was a provincially regulated railway, they would be happy to mediate.
In the end, the problem was solved by moving the locomotives that were idling outside people's houses all night to an industrial yard, what was then the CIP.
We have noted that there are sometimes extremely expensive solutions to problems that would be better solved with a little thought. To give you an example, a huge wall was built along the Ottawa O Train's line for nearly a kilometre, and the installation of continuous welded rail, which was already programmed, solved most of the noise problem. A much more modest sound barrier directed at the tracks only would have sufficed. A vegetable barrier such as a hedge would have fixed the rest more esthetically and would have not permitted graffiti.
What I'm saying here is before jumping on the railways, all of us as citizens, not just as MPs or constituents, should consider the alternatives. That's all.
