Mr. Speaker, I understand there are lots of other issues with this bill and wanting to change some things within committee is key. One of the things I am concerned about is the safety of workers not being accounted for within this piece of legislation. About a year ago, I was talking to folks from IBEW, workers on CN, who put their very jobs on the line because they were so concerned with the safety of their work on the rail line. The national supply chain task force talked about rail safety for workers, the exhaustion levels they face and the fatigue. They made recommendations that are not in this bill. The transportation committee made several recommendations that are not in this bill. Could the member talk about the workers' safety and the importance of that? I would really love to hear his thoughts on that.
