Okay.
In conclusion, our rails are maintained as they were 20 years ago, with a rail management system. Today, much longer, heavier and faster trains are running on the rails. This leads to the premature wear of the rails, resulting in constant derailments. The seven derailments that occurred, according to the TSB reports, are related to the increased rate of rail wear. The system must be reviewed.
I had other recommendations for the committee. We want the government to completely review the legislation and the regulations, and to reinstate Transport Canada as the true guardian of transportation safety.
