The reason that in my remarks today I went beyond Bill C-627 is precisely because I think there are a number of proactive steps that legislators can take with respect to crossing safety. There are a number of very important changes that need to be made if we're going to improve crossing safety in this country. The TSB has already pointed out that we have not reduced the amount of accidents at crossings over the last 10 years. We have essentially plateaued. If we're going to make those kinds of safety improvements, we have to look at closing crossings, at changing the governance on opening and closing, and so on.
