Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Madam Minister, Deputy Minister, Assistant Deputy Minister and Associate Deputy Minister, thank you all for being here today.
Madam Minister, you have already addressed the issue of rail safety. You talked about the Lac-Mégantic tragedy and DOT-111 tank cars. You mentioned there were three reports, including one that deals specifically with those cars. As you mentioned, the Transportation Safety Board of Canada has had some concerns about those cars for quite some time now, and has made some recommendations. Following the Lac-Mégantic tragedy, it indicated that that was one of the problems.
You talked about working with our partners south of the border. However, can you tell us if a timeframe has been established for taking these cars off the tracks? If so, will that happen now, in five years or in 10 years? I would like clarification, because many people are concerned about this.
