Thank you for your question.
In our audit, we found that the department had made significant progress. It increased the number of inspections, ensured that its oversight approach is risk-based and increased the number of audits on the safety management systems. So the department has made a good investment of its time and resources to respond to our recommendations and fill in the gaps identified in 2013.
A final major effort is needed now to measure the impact of all these activities on railway safety. It takes a long time to get there, but it's time well spent.
