Mr. Rhodes, you and your colleagues showed great courage that day, June 29, and you're showing real courage by coming forward today to provide your testimony before this committee. We're very concerned about the issue of rail safety and the escalating derailment rate.
You mentioned in your presentation how things have changed. You've been involved in railways for almost four decades in a variety of ways and worked your way up through the system. You talked about safety being job one a few years ago, and that safety isn't a priority now. When did things start to change? And has SMS, the safety management system, played a role in things changing in railways?
