Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to the witnesses today.
What interests me in particular are grade crossings. You talked a lot about that. They are really a problem in my riding.
In Montreal West, for example, there is a grade crossing right beside a school. Consequently, there are a lot of children nearby. I understand what you said, that we should increase awareness among young people. However, this is a primary school. So it constantly takes in new students. I think it is good to invest in prevention, but the awareness approach has to be renewed every year, since there are new students every year.
The minister has announced a budget for that. However, it is an ad hoc budget; it will not last. It will provide help for one year, but this will have to be done again the following year.
Mr. Marit, you said that some aspects of the regulations were a little less clear. Apart from prevention, what do you think we should do about grade crossings? For example, since the crossing I mentioned in Montreal West is very dangerous, they would like to build a tunnel or a trench. However, Montreal West cannot afford to do that.
What do you think we should do to make these grade crossings safe?
