Transport committee  Apologies, Mr. Chair. Deputy Keenan's mike isn't working. He was going to suggest that perhaps Denis Vinette from the Canada Border Services Agency could take this question.

Transport committee  There are requirements at aerodromes around Canada to manage noise in and around the aerodromes. Ideally, we'd prefer that the airport operators themselves manage it locally. I'm not immediately familiar with this particular issue, but there are processes and procedures in plac

Transport committee  Unfortunately, I do not know if this is the case. The creation of airspace is a complex issue. I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with it.

Transport committee  Again, these measures have been put in place by our colleagues at the Public Health Agency of Canada and CBSA, but the importance of ensuring a mutual approach across the border is to ensure that, for example, travel one way doesn't result in people getting caught on the other si

Transport committee  Throughout the pandemic, we've been working very closely with both our partners within government, primarily at the Public Health Agency of Canada, which provides the health advice that drives the decisions and measures that have been in place at the border and domestically, and

Transport committee  I'm sorry, Arun, I don't. We have a role when it comes to, say, airport zoning regulations, which might speak to the height of the buildings. I don't think we don't have a regulatory role from a safety and security point of view. I apologize.

Transport committee  I should point out, if I understood the question properly, that it's actually the Transportation Safety Board that does the investigations into accidents. We certainly follow up and do our own analysis of the accident. An example would be that when we find something wrong with ho

Transport committee  If I may, I will defer to my colleague Mike DeJong.

Transport committee  I'm going to ask my colleague Mike DeJong to take it, if I may.

Transport committee  I believe 39 individuals passed away as a result of trespassing, being on, in or around the railway tracks.

Transport committee  Again, if you look at where fatalities are taking place, the two biggest problems we have are trespassing and grade crossing accidents. We're taking action in both areas. In particular, when it comes to trespassing, it's hard to regulate that. You can't regulate that kind of beh

Transport committee  We don't have it readily at hand, but we might be able to dig it out and provide it. I don't know if we have it, but we can certainly see if we can find it.

Transport committee  I'm not aware of any national studies that looked at the effects of the blockades.

Transport committee  Thank you for the question, Mr. Chair. It's a very challenging one. As the rail safety regulator, our focus is on ensuring the safe operation of railway. Those regulatory tools don't directly apply to blockades, except in the instance of trespassing. I'd have to refer the questi

Transport committee  It's a very difficult and challenging question. Each blockage is going to have different circumstances attached to it, different root causes and different paths to solutions. Ultimately, it's more of a law enforcement issue than it is a real safety issue, and so it's incumbent up
