Thank you, Mr. Vice-Chair. Thank you to our witnesses for appearing.
I want to come back to the bill itself here, if I can. We've had a good general discussion, and I want to be sure we're not conflating a number of issues, whether they are grade separation, grade improvement, and grade crossing closures, with the issue of grade safety that may not necessarily be related to any of these matters.
For example, if we have a problem with signal malfunction, or repeat failure of signal function, this bill, as I understand it, would grant the ability of railway safety inspectors to order a speed reduction or a ministerial order to be able to ensure that certain corrective measures are taken on an interim basis. For example, whether flag signal bearers are present to stop traffic additionally or direct traffic, those measures would have to be provided. Does the panel agree that this is an important clarification and a step forward with respect to the safety of a railway at a particular crossing? Does anybody have an objection to that?
