Mr. Chair, with respect to rail safety, this government has spent over $100 million in extra funding in rail safety for the past number of years since 2009. We started in 2007 with respect to doing a study on what was needed for rail safety, and we acted on it by putting the money behind it. This is what the department indicated was needed: $72 million over five years plus and an extra $15 million in operating funds. Those are the numbers that are needed in order to carry out what we are doing in rail safety.
