The amendment is on page 21. At the same time, I will be discussing amendment BQ-5 found on page 22. We are suggesting that we add the other nuisances to the word "noise" so that the Transportation Agency really has the authority to issue guidelines for all types of nuisances. We have not focused solely on the word "noise"; that is why the heading of the clause is "Noise, Vibrations and Fumes".
Amendment BQ-4, on page 21, amends clause 95.1, which would read as follows: "A railway company must minimize any nuisance, including those caused by the noise, vibrations and fumes..." In this manner, the agency would have the authority to discuss all types of nuisances. This is why we have added the words "including those caused by the noise, vibrations and fumes".
The difference between amendment BQ-4 and amendment BQ-5, which is found on page 22, is that BQ-5 does not include the word "including"; it simply states "caused by the noise, vibrations and fumes". We would like to be able to discuss all types of nuisances and we would like to see the agency be authorized to deal with complaints regarding the various nuisances, including those caused by noise, vibrations and fumes associated with railways.
Then, we would amend clauses (b), by replacing lines 7 and 8 and (c), lines 20 and 21: "to minimize any nuisance, including those caused by noise, vibrations or fumes". The purpose is to add, to the word "noise", the other nuisances, including those caused by noise, vibrations and fumes. The agency would therefore be authorized to discuss all kinds of complaints regarding nuisances to the community.
