Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you to Ms. Kinney and the rest of the panel.
The Auditor General, in his review in 2013, identified that the department planned on conducting many more audits than it actually completed. As well, those audits it did complete were in fact limited in scope, and as per the report of the Transportation Safety Board on Lac-Mégantic, were not adequate and were not in keeping with proper risk assessments because there was considerable risk attached to the way the MMA railroad was working.
How many audits have been conducted since 2012? How many have been missed, and of which railroads?
