That's also what we were told when our committee did a study of rail transport. We were told that the system in place was very good and that the companies were quite satisfied with it. The Auditor General looked into it and said that Transport Canada did not even have the time to audit the SMSs.
CN representatives appeared before the committee and told us that they could send the committee an example of a safety management system. Would you be able to send us one so that we can see what is done? Safety management systems are sent to Transport Canada for study, but in reality, the department doesn't have sufficient resources to determine whether all the systems in place are safe.
