Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses.
I'd like to start with Mr. Brown.
Mr. Brown, CN, obviously, operates in northwest B.C. It's a big part of our history, a big part of our current economy. As I mentioned earlier in the meeting, there's been a marked increase in the transport of dangerous goods, especially products like liquid propane. This is of fairly significant concern to municipalities, to volunteer fire departments and to residents who live along the rail corridor. They look at major disasters like Lac-Mégantic and they think about their own community. They think about what would happen if there were a disaster of that magnitude and that scale in their local community.
I wonder if you can comment on whether your company models disaster response for a large industrial fire involving liquid propane, and on what such a disaster would look like relative to what we saw in Lac-Mégantic, which was a disaster involving crude oil. How would those two differ in their character?
