I want to tell Mr. Julian and other members of the committee that noise was a huge issue for me in particular and for other members of our caucus. We heard it a lot, not just from members here but from everybody. We've had three or four meetings with the department already on this particular section. We've changed it quite a few times, and we've talked about some compromises with Mr. Julian, the Bloc, and the Liberals.
Many of the Conservative members were concerned, until we started to talk about what they were actually planning to do. In the old days, before the 2000 judgment, when they got a noise complaint they would sometimes go into the yard and say they couldn't do shunting there any more, or they had to do shunting over in another part, or maybe they had to build a berm or weld those tracks because there was too much noise vibration.
The agency goes on site and makes determinations about particular things that can be done for different sites, because they're all dramatically different across Canada. So this is the first time we've had legislation on noise and given power to the agency. That's why there's flexibility in it. Unless there are any other comments—
