Thank you for your questions.
The railway operating rules define what a qualified employee is. The term “employee” is defined in the regulations.
As to distance and train tonnage, we have reviewed the comments we received recently, not only from unions, but also from the Transportation Safety Board. In early June, we will be meeting with industry and union representatives. We will put this issue on the table for discussion and see if any changes to the regulations are in order. The current limit for the speed of this technology and the rules on tonnage and distance are U.S. directives, which do not apply to Canada. We are looking into this matter however.
