You have a tough job here today, Mr. Brazeau. You're defending all of your members. I get that there were some other members who were invited and weren't able to show up. That's acceptable, in my opinion, but to think that the mayor of a town, someone like Mr. Bourdeau, who would be responsible if anything were to go south with whatever was on that type of railcar going through.... To me, it would seem reasonable that he and his municipality, or members of his team, would know what was on that car, just for that proactive piece.
Is it simply that a mayor of a town isn't considered to be on a “need to know” basis when it comes to what's on the railcars?
