Mr. Gordon Rhodes at the Transport, Infrastructure and Communities Committee

I can't speak about the differences between the standards. I can speak from my experience working for CN, when it was Canadian-owned, and my experience working for B.C. Rail. Now we've gone to CN again, which is American-owned, and the contrast is immense. There's everything from safety.... When you opened up your rule books and your timecards, safety was number one when it was Canadian-owned; now it's number four.
