I'm not sure that the communities are happy to sit and wait for the response.
In your investigation into Lac-Mégantic, you identified an unbelievable list of violations by MMA, including runaway train, safety deficiencies in training, oversight, operational practices, lack of consultation with employees in doing risk assessments, problems managing equipment, problems with the remote control, issues with rules compliance, issues with fatigue management, and lack of investment in infrastructure and maintenance.
I'm wondering if you are finding a pattern of problems where Transport Canada allows exemptions that lead to incidents. This seems to be the case in Lac-Mégantic, where there was an exemption regarding having two employees on the line. Have you seen a pattern that you think would warrant looking into the power to grant exemptions?
