On this point about the accident, Transport Canada was on the ground in deploying inspectors—track inspectors, and bridge inspectors. The company has submitted a risk mitigation plan of the actions they were taking to deal with this situation at the time, but also to mitigate the issue going forward. Part of our response had been to complete a track inspection of the entire subdivision. On the basis of what we learned there and what we see happening, we will look at what amendments we want to make to our risk-based planning, which has led to the identification of the areas of focus of our inspection plans for the year. We have had internal discussions with our regional officers to discuss what amendments, if any, we need to make to the plan that was originally set at the beginning of the year—whether there were changes that would affect the plans, not only for the Ontario Region but also other regions across Canada.
