One of the issues that I think I'd like to take note of is that in British Columbia, the taxing authority was taken away from local government on the rights-of-way. Municipalities lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax revenue, but they're providing an emergency response plan for the railroad. So when they put their response in the operating certificate, I think it would be incumbent on the railroads to work with the local government, also maybe even to fund some of those costs for the planning process and the people who do that work.
