Transport committee I'll do my best. Let me start with the actual location of the facilities. The customers by and large determine the location of the facilities. We don't own the facilities where these transload operations are occurring. To the second point, from a risk mitigation standpoint, th

Transport committee Absolutely.

Transport committee Let me clarify my statement. I've only been at CP for 13 months, so I'm not certain of that answer. I would assume the answer is yes, but instead of my making an assumption, we'll get a firm answer and we'll come back to the committee with it. My colleagues can get that informati

Keith E. Creel
Transport committee I have a bit of a different view. I don't know if the gentleman is right or wrong, but I would say that the railway has secured all of the insurance that we can secure. We can't buy any more insurance. I would say that there's potential for certain accidents that would exceed t

Transport committee Sorry, what was the question again?
April 3rd, 2014Committee meeting
Keith E. Creel
Transport committee I would be extremely concerned with all of the unintended consequences. If we slow trains down to 15 miles an hour through all urban centres across this country and across the United States and North America, there's a whole series of other unsafe situations that would occur. We'

Keith E. Creel
Transport committee Well, I wouldn't suggest.... Listen, let's be honest. Let's be realistic. It's about risk mitigation. Everything in life can be unsafe if it's not done properly. For us to be able to take a railway, where we're trying to move the Canadian economy's goods, and grain specifically.
April 3rd, 2014Committee meeting
Keith E. Creel
Transport committee Could you imagine if we were mandated to do what we do and we moved all of those trains at 15 miles an hour? There's a degree of risk in everything you do. There's a degree of risk when you get out on the highway and you drive your vehicle. You could have a flat tire. You could

Transport committee No, I'm not.

Transport committee We'll have to get back to you, yes.

Keith E. Creel
Transport committee I would say there are multiple layers of defence and response. To Jim's point, the conductors are trained in haz-mat response and haz-mat handling. We have haz-mat specialists across the property that are there immediately. They're on call 24-7 to at least counsel and coach thos
April 3rd, 2014Committee meeting
Keith E. Creel
Transport committee As for safety, reduction in accidents, we have standards or measures in place for reduced injuries and for reduced accidents. We have investment standards. We have objectives as far as how we invest our money, why we're investing our money, and what specifically we're investing t
April 3rd, 2014Committee meeting
Keith E. Creel
Transport committee Could I please add one point of clarification? I did not realize this, but all of our safety objectives on an annual basis are posted, submitted to Transport Canada, and posted across the property for all of the employees. Internally, it is posted already and it is provided.
April 3rd, 2014Committee meeting
Keith E. Creel
Transport committee Transport Canada to the public.... Our employees work in.... They live in the communities that we operate in and through. It's not broadly posted to the public, but certainly it's not confidential.
April 3rd, 2014Committee meeting
Keith E. Creel
Transport committee What is the exact standard that we submitted? Was it a 15% reduction...?
