It is. Well, that's good to hear. I noticed in your comments that you said we're facing some new challenges. We have, of course, increased grain production. We have the Bakken oil field in southeast Saskatchewan, which is producing a lot of oil. It needs to be shipped somehow, either through pipelines, rail, or truck; and each has its own issues. Of course there's potash, as well.
So, you said it's resulted in two-mile trains. I understand we also have transload facilities appearing, not only in cities but in RMs. So, two things result. One, it increases the risk and safety to the public, so that needs to be attended to. The second issue you pose is who pays. Mr. Therien said we do have a program for grade crossings, and annually there's a significant amount, and it's distributed to those areas that most need them.
What do you see as some of the safety issues, particularly with two-mile trains and transload facilities in communities where cars actually tend to block roads, RM roads, many times during the night? What do you see as some of the safety concerns, and what might need to happen? Of course you can make your comments about how we handle the extra cost occasioned by necessity, given the increase in the movements of commodities.
