I couldn't tell you because it comes down to interpretation and subjectivity. The person on site, or the TC representative, may have a relationship of some kind with a specific person from the railway company. Essentially we are talking about human relations. When I ask railway officials if they have any major problems with Transport Canada, they tell me that they really do not, even though one or two inspectors may occasionally be guilty of being overly zealous. Generally speaking, I do not receive any complaints about how our programs are applied.
