Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to welcome our friends. It's a pleasure to see you here once again.
The Office of the Auditor General of Canada in 2021 released a report and noted that Transport Canada had increased the number of risk-based inspections, but “did not assess the effectiveness of the railways' safety management systems”. Mr. Brazeau touched upon that a little bit in his testimony when he spoke about the SMS regulations.
I'm just wondering if I could hear from each of you your own perspectives. To what extent, if any, does Bill C-33 propose to address the effectiveness of railway safety management systems in identifying hazards and mitigating risks?
