Refine by MP, party, committee, province, or result type.
Transport committee I think municipalities do have a say in that. I'm not an expert in that area so I can't answer your question specifically. Certainly, we have a very proactive consultation process so we believe the communities do have a say in it.

Transport committee They may be able to do that. It depends on the council.

Marty Cove
Transport committee Again, I'm not an expert in that area. My expertise is logistics.
May 6th, 2014Committee meeting

Transport committee Well, I've seen the Bakken crude. I've toured a couple of the transload facilities in the Bakken, and that is a greenish, very light, very viscous product, whereas the product we're moving is almost like road tar. It definitely has very different properties. I'm not a chemist,
May 6th, 2014Committee meeting
Marty Cove
Transport committee Yes, we're definitely responsible for everything that happens up to the point where we release the cars.
May 6th, 2014Committee meeting
Marty Cove
Transport committee There is a fair number. There are the people who are overseeing the development of the programs, there are the people who actually do the loading, there is a second group of people who check the cars after 24 hours to make sure they're in good shape. We do inspections of the cars
May 6th, 2014Committee meeting
Marty Cove
Transport committee I think there's probably always room for improvement, and yes, there is always the concern that you're providing information to people who will use that information inappropriately. Ultimately, though, as it was pointed out in the discussion I had yesterday, when the railcar is m

Marty Cove
Transport committee Wow. How long do we have?
May 6th, 2014Committee meeting
Marty Cove
Transport committee I'll try to do it in less. Our role is to ensure that we are doing everything we reasonably can to ship safely. I listed a bunch of those, and I won't go over them again. It also goes beyond just shipping. It also goes to product stewardship. So, it's a cradle-to-grave concept w
May 6th, 2014Committee meeting
Marty Cove
Transport committee Yes.
May 6th, 2014Committee meeting
Marty Cove
Transport committee If I might add just very briefly, we do have very specific outreach programs and targets that we try to achieve, but I can say with confidence that it's a massive marketplace. It's almost impossible with the resources that are available to cover everybody off adequately, so there
May 6th, 2014Committee meeting
Marty Cove
Transport committee Again, it would be up to the fire chiefs, I guess, to determine how they require their employees to respond. We do offer the training. We do that often in conjunction with the railways, and it's very aggressive.
May 6th, 2014Committee meeting
Marty Cove
Transport committee It's not just the regulators who have their existing regulations, but it's also the consultation process with the community. We had three separate consultation processes with the community where we were describing what chlorine is, its properties, and we were working very closely
May 6th, 2014Committee meeting
Marty Cove
Transport committee We don't provide ERAPs to the community. We provide that to Transport Canada. We do supply education, training, and in the event of an incident, in the unlikely event of an incident, we have a technical adviser who is available immediately by phone. Then we have our own emergen
May 6th, 2014Committee meeting
Marty Cove
Transport committee Maybe I'll add to that. I can tell you that our oil transload facility is in a town called Bruderheim, which is north and east of Edmonton. I've been at some of the community consultation outreach programs, and they are very well attended. We are very open with exactly what we're
