I wish you luck with that request to Transport Canada because the Auditor General tells us that the capacity within Transport Canada to do anything of that kind may not even exist. Transport Canada, under this government, says it needs 20 qualified audit inspectors. They have nine, maybe 10. They're not our numbers. It's Transport Canada's numbers.
In a three-year period they only conducted 25% of the audits that they said they had to conduct in order to ensure that rail was safe in this country. So we have a capacity problem at Transport Canada, and need I remind Canadians that the government spends more on economic action plan advertising every year than it does on rail safety.
But I want to go to another issue raised by a colleague across the way here earlier, about the new sampling, testing, and classification of the products. I want to ask you about your members and whether they are in fact conducting the sampling, the testing, and the classification of the products, becauseThe Globe and Mail broke a series of stories, saying that even after the directive had been issued, it's not happening. It wasn't happening in Bakken, and it's not happening.
Can you assure Canadians now that at the very least all of your member companies are in full compliance with those requirements?
Ms. Cook.
