Certainly it's not secret, Mr. Chair. As we indicated in our protective direction—I believe we explained this at the last meeting as well—the volumes of dangerous goods transported doesn't change that quickly through a given community. When we designed the protective direction, we all sat down at the table with the Railway Association of Canada and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and asked the best way for us to make this information available. After that consultation it was agreed that the best way would be to do it on a historical basis, because the amount of goods and the volumes don't change appreciably on a day-to-day basis. That would give the municipalities the information they need to be able to respond to whatever is travelling through their communities.
That being said, and the protective direction indicates this, if the type of dangerous goods travelling through a community change appreciably, it is incumbent upon the railway company to advise the municipality how it's changed. With respect to providing information to the municipalities or the firefighters, Madame Dagenais talked to you about our CANUTEC, which is a 24-hour centre, a resource available to firefighters at any time, to provide them with the latest information on the best way to respond to a dangerous goods incident and to provide continuous information to them. During the Lac-Mégantic incident, they were on the line with the firefighters who were there, and they are a well-used and invaluable resource for the firefighting community across the country.
