Transport committee  If I can clarify, there was a reduction of speed to 50 for all key trains with 20 or more cars of dangerous goods. That was issued last year. That also required the risk assessments to be done, and that where there were higher-risk areas, they would need to look at, for crude oil

Transport committee  Exactly.

Transport committee  If I could, I'll phrase that slightly differently. They would need to take this into account in their safety management system. They would need to take it into account in their work/rest rules scheduling. They would have to look at any risks created by how they address that issue

Transport committee  I think that's a good question, but I think one of the issues is the provision is in legislative authority to make a regulation. The scope and the extent of the regulation obviously would affect the scale of the work required. The frequency, as we would expect, is quite low. We d

Transport committee  Yes, if I may. Without getting into the legal details—Alain can do that if required—fundamentally, as we started to draft new and much more robust safety management system regulations, as the minister mentioned, what we found when we tried to add specific elements of a normal f

Transport committee  As the minister said, we went into an intensive scrutiny of our process. We brought into that discussion our regional staff.

Transport committee  That's a summary of the inspections carried out. The data does not include whether they were announced or unannounced, as I said previously.

Transport committee  That would be something for which you'd have to go down and look at each inspection and see where it's there. We don't record that in our database.

Transport committee  Certainly. As I said, though, certainly in civil aviation we don't record whether they're unannounced or announced inspections. It's not a database element in the field, so it's not usually available.

Transport committee  That's certainly something to consider.

Transport committee  That's correct.

Transport committee  It includes them, along with other categories, yes.

Transport committee  That's absolutely accurate.
