Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities, meeting number 47. The order of the day, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), is a study of rail safety.
Joining us today we have David Chudnovsky, who is an MLA from Vancouver-Kensington; we have George Kosinski, former CN locomotive engineer; and representing the United Steelworkers, Todd Cotie, representative of local 2004 union.
Normally we ask you to make a seven-minute presentation. We'll do the presentations first and then go to questions around the table.
We'll start with Mr. Chudnovsky, please. Welcome.
