The official protocol to notify the situation centre at Transport Canada is that the operations control centre is to notify Transport Canada if there's an event that is not usual: significant train delays, collisions, incidents, accidents and so on. I have discussed with the deputy minister that I would personally advise him, and we have either myself or another colleague advise the office of the minister if there is any situation that is abnormal. That is above and beyond what we had agreed to before, a few years ago.
