Transport committee  Yes, we would have that in crude oil and other flammable liquids, and there's a working group in place with industry, first responders, and municipalities to look at what would be needed in those ERAPs to ensure that the firefighters can properly respond to an incident.

Transport committee  The shippers and the importers are the holders of the plan. We are also looking at whether some carriers should be responsible for some plans. Those are all policy decisions that will be looked at in the next couple of weeks.

Transport committee  That's why emergency response assistance plans are there. They're industry-owned, and they're basically there to help first responders answer and properly respond to an incident.

Transport committee  They would be totally different, yes.

Transport committee  For crude oil, there's no emergency response assistance plan in place.

Transport committee  Every time we do a risk assessment, one of the criteria is a high-density area. We looked at that as part of our risk assessment in terms of determining if there's a need for regulatory amendments or not.

Transport committee  When we look at amendments to regulations, we do ask.

Transport committee  There's a flashpoint and there's volatility. There are some types that are the thickest type of petroleum crude coming out of some of the soil that they've expected would not be classified as a dangerous good, but most of them, right now, are classified as dangerous goods.

Transport committee  The directive asks that every shipment be tested and classified before it's put on rail. On the other hand, any product that would be tested and classified would be able to be shipped by rail. There's no product that wouldn't be able to be shipped by rail.

Transport committee  No. The current regulation requires that every dangerous good that is transported needs to be tested, so that's not true.
