When there is a contract between the Agence métropolitaine de transport of Montreal and CN and CP, the Montreal agency pays CN and CP for the use of their tracks. The role of the federal government, in its area of jurisdiction, is to ensure that these tracks are safe.
You do not seem to have a problem with this and the fact that no additional employees are being added by the Agence métropolitaine de transport de Montréal, even if the bill requires it. What is important in your view is that all federal tracks be inspected by one and the same agency, that the work be done by federal employees and that there be no sub-contracting. Is that correct?
The fact that this bill does not deal with the agencies in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, because they are already tied to the federal government by contract and because CP and CN's tracks are federal, is not a problem to your mind. In other words, you respect the views of the earlier witnesses.
