Thank you to our witnesses for appearing today on what is an important study by this committee. We are looking at safety management systems and the transportation of dangerous goods. At the request of the Minister of Transport, we are looking to see if there are any additional ways that we can improve that regime. Our goal is to present interim findings by the summer and a full report with recommendations by the end of this year. Your testimony today helps us in that regard.
I want to ask a question right off the top. There has been a lot of talk about Lac-Mégantic. The Transportation Safety Board was here earlier this week with some very gripping images. Of course, the tragedy has left quite an indelible image on not only the railway companies but on the general public. With such an indelible image, has Lac-Mégantic become informative to our understanding of railway safety, prejudicial to Canadians' understanding of railway safety, or both? What is your opinion on that?
We can start with CN or CP.
