You have just stated that Quebec railway companies use federal railway lines, under contract with CN and CP, who are both subject to the Railway Safety Act, and already ensure that the rules and standards are applied and respected.

Does Transport Canada not already have the necessary authority to ensure that these companies falling under federal jurisdiction respect the requirements of the Railway Safety Act? In your opinion, why has such a burden been imposed upon railway companies in Quebec such as AMT?
