I appreciate that you're taking measures on this front. We certainly hope that urgent action is taken.

Also on the point of rail safety, one of the crashes in Saskatchewan involved, I believe, entirely the new TC-117 cars. They derailed and exploded. Canadians were told that these cars were safe. Obviously they are not. What is your government doing in reaction to this very troubling news?
