Transport committee  We don't make that determination. But often if they're privately owned, the owners of the bridge can decide whether or not they want to transport dangerous goods on their bridge.

Transport committee  We don't approve.

Transport committee  In terms of trucks found on highways, provincial inspectors will inspect them. But manufacturing facilities or testing facilities of trucks are done by the federally appointed inspectors.

Transport committee  Yes, they are.

Transport committee  We both do, on each side of the border. As I said, they're aligned in terms of classification and standards.

Transport committee  We actually will look at the tank car per se. Whether they're provincial railways or federal railways, they're under federal jurisdiction.

Transport committee  It's under the Regulatory Cooperation Council. It's actually a goal for all types and means of containment that they are properly aligned—actually, also internationally. If you think about air transport, for example, when an airplane comes from Asia, it needs to be compliant wi

Transport committee  As I indicated in my presentation, standards are developed through the involvement of industry manufacturers, regulators, government, and interest groups. It was determined that the DOT-111 tank car could be used and is an appropriate means of containment to transport certain ty

Transport committee  No. There are 35 inspectors for ground transport that focus mainly on railways and, as I said in my presentation, on manufacturers and producers, and testing and repair facilities. There are 15 inspectors for air transport.

Transport committee  The random inspections are actually taken out of an inspection database that's finding facilities and basically giving us a baseline of compliance. We're actually randomly picking sites and going and inspecting them. Those are the spots, yes.

Transport committee  The way the transport of dangerous goods program works is a bit different. We look at means of containment. You're right, we look at trucks, we look at tank cars, but we also look at cylinders on trucks. We look at cylinders on ships. We look at different types of dangerous goods

Transport committee  We have about 20 standards, going from larger means of containment to smaller means of containment. For some types of dangerous goods, it's a box, actually, with some tape—if you're looking at batteries, for example. We look at different types of means of containment. We go to

Transport committee  No, we look at the tank car per se. We look at everything that accompanies the trains. We look at how it's transloaded. We look at the safety marks, at the means of containment. An inspection includes all components.

Transport committee  We do approximately 1,000 per year.

Transport committee  In terms of the safety requirements, the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act does apply to loading and transloading, so they need to follow the regulations and requirements of the act. We don't actually regulate, or it's not part of our jurisdiction to choose where the transloa
