Thank you very much.
Thanks for being here to provide your thoughts and reflections.
The first issue I want to ask about has to do with the changes that the bill makes to prohibit unruly interference with railway work, including unruly behaviour towards railway employees. It's still imprinted in my memory when a pipeline crossing was being built without permission by the hereditary chiefs of the nation across whose claimed territory this was being built and it ended up with railway blockages that shut down rail traffic in quite a bit of the country. I think there were even fires being built on the rails themselves.
What kind of impact does that have on your members when these seemingly unassociated conflicts affect railway work? Do you see the changes the bill is making to prohibit that as adequate to protect your members?
