Thank you very much, Ms. Brown.
Again, I think this is an enhancement. And the committee has to understand that an awful lot of work has gone into this through our relationships with this committee and other committees. It makes it stronger; it makes it better.
The issue at CN and CP, as I understand it—and I'm sure my brother in the back of the room may give me some heck for this—just has to do with.... As an example, if the first responder is our member, then they have to make sure and know what was being transported and where it is. For trains, it's simply a case that if the train is supposed to have 130 cars and there are 135, what is on the other five cars? Where are they? What are they carrying? There are plans in place to ensure that with trains, they know what they're carrying and what they're supposed to do. But when a truck driver is trained, he's supposed to know what's there and what shows up. When the firemen and the police show up, they have to be able to tell them. But also for the safety of our members, they also have to know when they have to run like heck.
So again, when an accident or derailment or anything happens, the press talks about how bad it is for the public, how bad it is for everybody, but it's perhaps one of our members who is running for their life.
So as we said in our submission to you, anything in this bill that makes this stronger—more enforcement, better training, to make things safer for our members—is greatly appreciated, and we do appreciate it.
