Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Ferguson and your team, for being here and for your very important work in this chapter of your report on rail safety.
If I may, I'd like to begin by sharing an impression I'm left with after reading your report. I'd like your thoughts on my impression.
My impression is that there's a culture of safety in Transport Canada and that SMS is an adequate system. There is a gap on the part of Transport Canada auditors and inspectors in following up on findings and holding railway companies accountable for those findings.
Could you comment on that impression?
