Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to follow up a little bit on Mr. Masterson's comments from the Chemistry Industry Association of Canada. He said that falsehoods have been spread, that the entire responsibility for risks and costs rests with municipalities.
Mr. Lessard, perhaps I'll ask my question differently.
To your knowledge, has the railway company in your region, which transports dangerous goods, ever covered the cost of fire stations? Has it ever incurred any costs for equipment? Does it pay for the firefighters who are on duty?
I don't know if it's Canadian National or Canadian Pacific in your area. I'm assuming it's Canadian National.
I'm not an expert on how that works in general. However, to my knowledge, the railway companies may be contributing to the training or information provided to you. However, does your municipality cover all those other costs, or are the railways also involved?
