That gives me a good opening. For the incidents that represent 42% of all accidents, to what extent could voice and video recorders have helped prevent what I consider the greatest factor in accidents involving human error, namely, conductor fatigue?
In such cases, could a digital recorder change anything at all? Does Bill C-49 fail to provide sufficient clarity? It does not contain any measures to prevent conductor fatigue and, unfortunately, we will not know until after the fact that nothing could have been done.
