Thank you very much, Chair.
I'd like to thank our guests for attending today, with apologies that we did not spend as much time as I know we would have liked to with all of you, but thank you for your participation.
As a broad comment, I feel compelled to say that Canadians have an expectation of their governments. Probably just in the way that individuals run their households, they're asking government, which has a unique role to play, to be more efficient, to be effective, to do things that don't compromise public safety, and to do things that will provide key service levels.
To try to get a sense of expectations from them, I've asked my constituents in London West about this through the questions that I provide weekly to them in surveys, and I think the idea of doing things efficiently, with safety and key service components in mind, is very much in some of the feedback I receive. So I'd like to ask you a couple of questions.
I don't know if it's a direct yes or no, but in terms of VIA Rail, do you feel that the estimates you're providing will compromise safety either for the employees or for the passengers involved at VIA Rail? Can I ask that as a yes or no...?
