Thank you very much for your great understanding, Mr. Chair.
Honestly, I do understand how important it is that Canada has two of the best rail companies in the world in terms of safety. I understand that. The concern we have and that I hear on the ground is with smaller companies that don't have all of the resources that your companies have in terms of making sure that safety is the number one priority. Obviously with Lac-MĂ©gantic, MMA, for instance, didn't have the same concern about safety that your companies have.
How can we, as regulators, because I think we have been failing, in that companies are inspected and Transport Canada is flagging issues but not following up on those issues....
How can you help Transport Canada to make sure that all of the inspections or issues are dealt with from the companies' side. What would be your recommendation for small companies?
