Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, gentlemen and lady, for coming and sharing your experiences with us.
As you know, the committee is looking at the transport of dangerous goods and amendments to the act. One of the things we have been told should be of great concern to us, of course, is the impending security issues that are raised by a world event in Vancouver, or the lower mainland, in one year's time. I'd like to address my questions in that context to both Ms. Mitchell and Monsieur Brousseau, to whoever it is who speaks English with a French accent.
Our concerns initially were as follows, and maybe Ms. Mitchell might attempt this one at first.
Transport basically involves two issues: one is the vehicle itself and the other, of course, is the driver. From your experience of the homeland security defence and the United States--I guess all of the states, but more from the federal government's perspective--which of the two is it that they're focusing on in greater detail?
