Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the members of the committee for their warm welcome this morning. I greatly appreciate it.
Mr. Bourdon, thank you for sharing your expertise with us.
You have before you probably the most junior member of the committee this morning. But I still have some questions. Perhaps you can give me the big picture.
Air and rail disasters are always the most spectacular. Despite the catastrophic nature of air accidents, we believe that air travel is still the safest mode of transportation. With this new bill, S-4, could we say that rail transportation will edge closer to air transportation in terms of safety?
