Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
I still don't agree with the Conservatives, far from it. However, when Mr. Watson talked about the classification suggested by Mr. Lewis, that is to say that, on a scale of 0 to 5, CN ranks between 1 and 2, you immediately challenge the idea. That's what hurts me. We've been analyzing safety problems for a number of months. Witnesses confirm the gist of the report. I think it's really unfortunate, when CN probably hired you as chief safety officer—you took up your duties quite recently, in April 2007—because it too had observed these problems, to hear you say today that the safety problems aren't those cited in the report, and that things are going better at CN than one might think.
This situation causes a serious problem for me. The act will be amended, and I wonder whether penalties will have to be increased and the directors and chief security officer made responsible. You don't seem to be aware of the fact that the reports and evidence revealed the safety problem at CN. Today, you should have admitted that the problem exists and have talked to us about the measures you intend to take to solve it, instead of which you denied the problem, while saying that you don't approve of the report's recommendations.
Is there or is there not a safety problem at CN, Mr. Miller?
