Thank you, witnesses, for being here today.
My question is regarding the DOT-111 legacy cars. We have heard that there are about 80,000 tank cars still in Canada.
I heard from witnesses that we need to have a realistic timeline. Can anyone give me a realistic timeline, knowing, for instance, that Irving has said they'll phase them out within one year? CN said they would phase them out within four years.
We had a working group that looked at the DOT-111, and there is still no timeline. I understand that we are waiting for what's happening in the U.S., but can we know here in Canada? Especially after what happened in Lac-Mégantic, Canadians want to know the timeline. Can any one of you give me a realistic timeline?
