Transport committee  One hundred and one.

Transport committee  Two engineering positions in Ottawa are vacant: one engineer left for a smaller centre and the other one went to a department. As far as I'm concerned, to the best of my knowledge, we have everyone we need in the smaller centres. One or two may have retired, but certainly no more

Transport committee  The people from the TSB could answer that question. They are the ones who collect all the information; we don't do that. We have the same kind of access you do to the statistics they compile following accidents which are reported to them.

Transport committee  It's absolutely possible. Anything is possible.

Transport committee  The safety management system mandates that every employee must be involved. This was confirmed in our audit. Employees confirmed exactly what you said, namely that in several cases, they were not at all informed about the safety management system.

Transport committee  No. Since 2002, they were found guilty twice. The other cases have not yet been resolved.

Transport committee  Yes, it happened in the past, but to come back to the dates mentioned by Mr. Laframboise, since 2002, two cases were disposed of. There are still four cases before the courts.

Transport committee  I think there's still some improvement to come. Statistics are issued by TSB. We don't control them. You may want to ask TSB at one point about the statistics, and if there's anything that may be added concerning the previous year. I think they have some issues on that. As far

Transport committee  No, they're quite similar. Our Pacific region was heavily involved in the transition between B.C. Rail and CN Rail. I wouldn't say the rules they had in place were 100% harmonized with federal, but almost; it was very close.

Transport committee  Could you just repeat that?

Transport committee  Other than the measure we took by putting special emphasis on track and on some of the equipment, no, we're just more out there than we were before.

Transport committee  Train speed is determined by the track safety rules, and actually if they meet the parameters we have in the track safety rules, that's how we allow speed. When we inspect the track, there are six different categories. If the condition of the track meets, let's say, a class one t
