In your deck you talk about international representation, and your bullet says that extensive collaboration exists between Canada and the United States on different aspects of the program to facilitate cross-border shipments.
I understand the minister issued a directive in October addressing the whole question of flashpoint and boiling point. Is that correct?
In the last meeting, I asked you questions about a report in last Saturday's Globe and Mail that was very concerning for Canadians. Now we're talking today about the transportation of dangerous goods. Can you help us understand what Canadians are to make of things like this:
The Globe and Mail has uncovered evidence that oil shippers are exploiting the wording of a recent federal order by Transport Canada and sending most of their crude over the rails without checking first how explosive it is, and whether it is suitable for transporting on trains.
The order requires shippers to test any crude sent by rail. So far, so good. Correct? Is that the directive?
