In the audit, we did not specifically examine the work of Transport Canada investigators on collisions. We touch on the subject a little when we talk about the six regional offices that have the mandate to go to the location of an accident, to collect data, and to talk to the coroner's office, to police forces and to doctors. In our report, we say, in fact, that the reduction of funding to those regional offices, which are not actually regional offices but research centres, usually in universities, like the École Polytechnique in Montreal, or the University of Waterloo, could jeopardize the quality of the data being collected in the field.
That said, we did not focus on the work that Transport Canada investigators do.
