Transport committee  I believe some documents were provided to our parliamentary affairs group to provide to the committee, so you should be seeing them very shortly. I apologize for the delay.

Laureen Kinney

Transport committee  My understanding is within the next day or two, very soon, but it goes through another process so I'm hesitant to say for sure. I can certainly take that back and make sure that we move it very quickly.

Transport committee  My apologies, but would it be possible to make a minor correction to some of the comments that Ms. Diogo made? She just wanted to correct something that she said in the previous statement. It's very short.

Laureen Kinney

Transport committee  I would say initially—and Ms. Diogo may want to add a comment—that one of the most critical elements for us to look at is the fact that we have a very new, very much more robust, more demanding, and more prescriptive safety management system that was established slightly over a y

Transport committee  I would answer in a slightly different manner, if I may, in terms of the work that's been done in the emergency response task force that was established. It was led primarily on the transportation of dangerous goods, looking at some of those issues of the types of flammable liqui

Transport committee  Yes, that's right.

May 16th, 2016Committee meeting

Laureen Kinney

Transport committee  I think it would be something that is case-specific, so it probably would be more useful to comment on specific recommendations, but in general, where there is a safety issue that has been raised and there is an evident step forward that can be taken to rapidly address that, we d

Laureen Kinney

Transport committee  I think I should just note a couple of points, if I may. One point is that the rules system is somewhat in place because the rail industry in Canada, and in the U.S. for that matter, is not part of an international regime that sets international regulations, etc. This is someth

Laureen Kinney

Transport committee  There's a legal framework set in place under the Railway Safety Act, which had a very rigorous review a few years ago. There were amendments made to the Railway Safety Act in the last year and a half or so, and Parliament has set up that framework, so I won't comment on that.

Laureen Kinney

Transport committee  That is a good question, because one point I was going to make was that the development of these rules must include the workforce, the labour organizations. Before these rules can be presented to Transport Canada, I think it's important to note that they must be shared with the u

Laureen Kinney

Transport committee  At this point, there's no formal process in the legislation that requires sharing with communities.

May 16th, 2016Committee meeting

Laureen Kinney

Transport committee  What we have been doing informally is discussing this with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, but this is a point that no doubt will need further discussion.

May 16th, 2016Committee meeting

Laureen Kinney

Transport committee  It's an interesting question, but I'm not really enough of an expert on the CEA process to be able to comment on that.

May 16th, 2016Committee meeting

Laureen Kinney

Transport committee  Well, in terms of the railway system, with the safety management system as well as the other regulations that apply in terms of safe carriage of goods and the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act and their regulations, we do believe we have a safe system in place.

May 16th, 2016Committee meeting

Laureen Kinney

Transport committee  There were a number of reports with different information in them that were all useful and valuable to improving our program. The Auditor General's report in fall 2013 focused on documentation, and they had other areas as well that were addressed. Those were areas, as we were re
