Absolutely. Just to be clear for members of the committee, we asked for the content of protective direction 32. This was our request, developed in conjunction with the fire chiefs, and we're pleased that the government has implemented it.
There is one piece that you haven't mentioned, that I think gets to a concern that some of our members have raised, and it's certainly been raised here at the committee, that there is a need for real-time information. If you will give me a moment here I'll explain it the way I have to our board of directors.
We have an emergency planning concern and we know from the fire chiefs that before Lac-Mégantic, they did not have access to specific detailed technical information, so not a roll-up to say, “We ship chemical products on this line”, but detailed product name, UN number, and volumes. That's what PD 32 provides.
We do understand, though, that for short lines as in Lac-Mégantic with MMA, these companies do sometimes ship products for the first time during a year and we didn't feel it was appropriate to wait, which is why PD 32 obliges those companies to offer that information immediately.
