If it has been one or two years since we have inspected a company, even if nothing has really happened, we figure it's time to drop by to see how things are and to make sure the system is as good as it was during the last inspection. We w

Transport committee There has been an increase of 12 in the last year, so there were less than that. But to say the least, it has been an extremely stable environment in the number of inspectors. So prior to 2001 we had a total, I believe, of 78 or 79 inspectors across the country, including Ottawa.

Transport committee Usually maintenance depends on who was there first. If the rail line was there first and then a community was built and spread on both sides of the track and they have to make a crossing, the maintenance would probably have to be paid by the municipality because they came afterwa

Transport committee Billing and that aspect would probably be under the CTA, the Canadian Transportation Agency; however, at Transport we're now writing some new crossing regulations and access control regulations, and in the crossing regulations the railway and the municipality will have the joint

Transport committee This is one of the things, which is part of our submission, that we're hoping will be addressed. We need to flesh that out. It has to be more specific. As far as we're concerned, section 11 is a shortfall in the act right now. It's not specific enough.

Transport committee We conducted the appropriate on-site inspection. The last I heard about this issue is that the townspeople were told to speak with CN. As long as track safety rules are respected, we cannot take action under our regulatory framework by ordering, for example, that the speed limit
