Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The proposed amendment would read:
Regulations made under subsection (1) shall require companies to publish the contents of their safety management systems and any information that is necessary to explain the operation of the system.
This relates to testimony the committee heard from witnesses who were concerned about the fact that safety management systems for the rail sector remain proprietary documents despite the fact that they're also, I think it's fair to say, the dominant tool for ensuring the safety of rail workers, communities and the environment. This would simply provide much-needed transparency and allow the Canadian public and those who are affected by the rail sector to better understand the primary system that is said to be protecting their safety. I think it's fairly self-explanatory.
I'll turn it back to you, Mr. Chair.
