Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities, meeting number 17. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), this is the study on rail safety in Canada.
Joining us today we have the Honourable Doug Lewis, chair of the advisory panel for the Railway Safety Act review; Tim Meisner, executive director, Railway Safety Act Review Secretariat; and Sheila Smith, director of planning and liaison, Railway Safety Act Review Secretariat. Thank you for joining us today.
I know there's a lot of information to be shared today, so I think we'll get right at it.
I will advise the committee that I have set aside the last 10 minutes of this meeting to confirm where we're going when we come back from the break.
I would ask that you keep your questions as short and concise as possible so everyone can participate.
Mr. Volpe.
