Welcome, Mr. Rosenfield. Thank you for joining us.
I listened carefully to your comments. I confess that I have some difficulty with a statistical approach, such as when you say that most accidents involving school buses happen at off-peak times. But having been a high school teacher, I get the picture.
When bus drivers are driving their routes in town and getting the children to school at about 50 kilometres an hour, the risk of an accident is low and, even if there was one at that speed, the impact would be reduced.
When I was a teacher, those were the same buses that I was on to go to the theatre or to a sports or cultural event with my students. We would be doing 90 kilometres an hour on the highway, which is more or less the standard in all provinces.
You were talking about speed just now. In your experience, is a speed limit of 90 kilometres an hour appropriate for that kind of vehicle?
