Transport committee  Well, you report any time you have an incident and if you need some information, it's a two-way discussion. That's how we do it. We have to understand what's on the train, which we do. The conductor carries the information of what's on the train. We also have it in the computer s

Transport committee  No, they're not. We've built the railroad to have sidings long enough to—

Transport committee  I think we're clear on the tank cars. We accept what the government has said. We support the changes that we think have to happen in the industry and the type of car that has to be built. The 1232 car is safer than the DOT-111 car. Is it as safe as the new car that is going to b

Transport committee  I think the speed when it derailed was—

Transport committee  It's a moot point because the bottom line is that we operate on a daily basis, and have for years...all sorts of products that are used by everyone in North America and in Canada. We handle products that are poisonous by inhalation, which are used in everyday plastics, and we han

Transport committee  As I said, we're more than willing. We've given them to Transport Canada already.

Transport committee  I would not withhold permission on the risk assessment.

Transport committee  You look at the situation where you are. It's very difficult. If it's contained and in one spot, it makes a lot of sense for us to not try to put it out. You have to make sure that the danger in trying to put it out is more than the danger of letting it burn. In that situation, t

Transport committee  I don't know where you're getting the 15 miles or 20 miles an hour—

Transport committee  —but any time you start slowing down the speed of trains.... It's just as difficult the other way. We operate VIA trains. I came over by VIA this morning, and we were going at 90 miles an hour on our railroad on the Kingston subdivision. That gives you a different challenge on

Transport committee  I think it worked well. We reacted very quickly and had the right people there to respond.

Transport committee  That's correct. That's what we had last winter. I'm glad you asked me about grain; it's nice to report. I looked at it this morning. The fact is, our outstanding orders are less than 2,000 cars of grain, on the books that we have today. The weekly amount that we moved last week w

Transport committee  I think it's a great question, sir. The first accident happened. The trend line, if you look on the slide with NOD, did not give us any outlier that we had an issue in infrastructure, and we'll see what we find out at the end. The normal reaction is to find out. We send in our o

Transport committee  We did. We lowered our standards. We think that on the first accident we had a joint failure at a place where the signal system works. We did drop the standard and made sure that we're going out there way ahead of it to clean that up even faster than we normally would.

Transport committee  I think the TSB is great. They showed up on site. They came out there to take a look at it and they're more than willing to always tell us, “Listen, we see something here that you should take a look at.” I think they are a nice, clear conscience to look at it. They're professiona
