Transport Canada has done a lot of work related to the tragic events that were just mentioned. It is almost impossible to describe all the changes we have made. Some of the changes have to do with the rules, processes, inspection methods, as well as rail safety, dangerous goods
and new requirements or standards for cars.
There are many differences between DOT-111 and higher quality tank cars. We are currently waiting for a TC-117. A list of all the changes is posted on the Transport Canada website. If the committee so wishes, I can send the list to the chair.
