Thank you for that.
I would now like to come back to Messrs. Chouinard and Gauthier.
A number of witnesses told us about the noise caused by the railways. I come from a riding where there is a shunting yard.
Two approaches were suggested to the railway to help alleviate the noise problem in urban centres, because the shunting yard came first, then, the population increased, as is currently the case in Western Canada and in British Columbia.
One approach would be to limit the yard's activities. In other words, certain operations could not take place in city centres, but outside the city limits. In Vancouver, this would mean settling in the suburbs, around Port Mann, instead of in New Westminster, which is closer to the centre.
Another possibility would be to limit the time during which these companies can carry out their activities. In other words, they could operate during the day or during office hours. Those are the two approaches.
You also spoke about limiting the decibel level.
Do you see any pros or cons in these three approaches: first, restricting the activities; then, restricting the hours; and, finally, setting a limit for the decibel level?
