Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My first question is for Mr. Carra.
Mr. Carra, I was very interested in what you said about the communication problems that exist between municipalities and railway companies.
Municipalities in my riding complain about it too. They feel helpless when they see that railroad companies don't meet their demands or their requests.
It's as though railway companies had the power of life and death over everything. This is especially frustrating because citizens ask elected officials to be accountable for those demands. At the end of the line, when it comes to railway companies, we hit a wall. Citizens' frustration increases when they realize that elected officials are not able to get things moving.
Mr. Carra, has the city of Calgary experienced the same kind of situation?
