Good morning. I am very happy to be back with the committee, especially in the context of this study. There are a lot of railways in my riding. CN and CP are both present in Lachine. That is why, gentlemen, I am happy that you are here with us.
I will first speak to Mr. Vena.
You mentioned in your testimony that accidents were very rare. In fact, you assured us that in our country rail transportation was safe in 99.997% of cases. I understand why my colleague Mr. Watson asked you if the Lac-Mégantic disaster had had an impact on perceptions.
Since we are talking about a 0.003% accident rate, what criteria do you use to assess progress in transportation safety?
