Transport committee  Please.

Transport committee  Yes. Until the end of grade 6, students sit three per seat. From grade 7 to grade 12, there are no more than two.

Transport committee  Exactly.

Transport committee  Yes, but the same bus is used to transport high school students and then elementary school students. We cannot change seat belts or the approach.

Transport committee  We should really look at the statistics to see if there have been more fatal accidents or other—

Transport committee  There are some, yes.

Transport committee  Yes.

Transport committee  I know that Sudbury currently has a short bus for students with special needs that uses seat belts.

Transport committee  What I want to clarify is that it's not about whether the cost is justified or not. Under the listing of requirements or studies that I've suggested, are seat belts on buses, under our conditions with kids in snowsuits, proven to decrease a very low probability of risk now to the
