I guess I'm concerned that those reports came in during November or December 2005, and it would take them until October 2006 to respond. And during that period of time, in June 2006, we had the fatality.
I hear the comment that they've reduced over 2005. Well, 2005 was one of the worst years. You don't compare to your worst year and say you're better. And it can be the last year; I appreciate that.
Another issue I have, referring to British Columbia in particular, is that the committee was told by more than one witness--from CN Rail employees, some former, and from B.C. Rail--that when it was a provincial railroad, there were higher standards. It appears that those standards, the general operating instructions, were not the same, or were not applied in the same way.
Can you comment on that? Do you feel that our federal railway standards currently imposed on CN in B.C. are less than what were imposed on B.C. Rail by virtue of provincial standards, or because of the terrain?
