For 20 years there have been conversations going on between municipalities and owners of rail about what is acceptable in terms of grade crossings, because fundamentally, you want to make sure that if there's an intersection of people with rail, you make it as safe as possible.
One thing we do have in the department is a program to help with assistance for closing some of these crossings. I'm proud that we fund that and that we disburse grants in that way.
More importantly, we actually did get agreement and we proceeded with respect to publishing new regulations on grade crossings. It's incredibly important to ensure that municipalities and the rail work together. It's not just about safety. It's about timing. It's about signalling. There is a lot embedded in there, and it's a great coup that we were able to move these forward into the Canada Gazette. I look forward to the closing of the commentary period and moving on the process and having them in place.
