You are absolutely right, Mr. Laframboise. This problem is not an easy one to resolve. Certain noises are unavoidable. For example, when a long train goes into a curve and must negotiate the bend, the locomotive will lean more towards one side. This movement produces noise as the wheels squeal on the tracks. It would be difficult to eliminate all of this noise. Technology can help us, in addition to legislation that is applied sensibly.
However, if the legislation goes too far, it could destroy businesses. That is our concern. For example, the Gare-du-palais in Quebec City lost its tracks. The federal government spent $600 million removing the tracks only to later replace them, after it realized its mistake. Thus, I am asking that the government show some judgment and moderation when applying any given measures.
