Thank you, Mr. Chair.

One of the things you said at the beginning of your presentation was that in spite of our best efforts we're still going to have derailments.

When we have derailments with tank cars full of crude oil, they're going to burn and explode. We learned that the DOT-111s weren't safe at 12 miles an hour in Lac-Mégantic. Now we've learned that the CPC-1232s aren't safe at 43 miles an hour at Gogama.

At what speed is CN prepared to run these trains so they can be viewed by the public as safe?
