The more I listen to you, Ms. Borges, the less confident I become. You maintain that a bridge or tunnel is the extension of a roadway, but we're not talking about just any bridge or tunnel in this case, but about international bridges.
It's as if you were saying to me today that bridge owners need not be the least bit concerned about the types of goods being transported over their infrastructures. However, I'm concerned and I want to be reassured. The issue here is the implementation of security plans and of a safety management system. In my view, it's become increasingly important for international bridge owners to be aware of the goods being transported over their bridges and to have a plan in place in the event of a catastrophe.
I don't have a problem with standards for carriers, but if ever a problem arises, I want the bridge owner to be aware of the goods being transported and to have a plan in place to ensure the public's safety.
Unfortunately, all you've managed to do today is fuel my concern. I submit that we must support Mr. Masse's motion. Bridge owners need to know what types of goods are being transported over their structures and they need to have safety plans in place. They need to know what to do and how to proceed if a problem arises. If you're telling me now that bridge owners do not have such a plan, then we have a problem at our borders.
