 Hi, my name is Marilyn Savard from Lac-Magantic, Quebec. You've probably heard of my town, right? I'm here today to tell you that there are two things I need you to know. The first thing is that your decision is about securing safety of the people in this room and their families. Because, you know, there is nothing abstract about another train disaster. I know because July 6, 2013 is a night I will never forget. I will never, ever forget the sound and the smell of the explosion. Trying to comfort my three years old son while not knowing if my friends were dying downtown. The second thing you need to know is that once an oil train derails and catches fire, you and your town will never totally recover. We lost 47 people that night, and since then we've lost many more who have struggled with the consequences of that terrible night. Can you imagine how many could it be in your own community? Half our downtown was destroyed. 40 buildings. The rest that didn't burn was highly contaminated and was raised to the ground. Nothing left. You know, there is no emergency response for an oil train fire, except to move the survivors away and wait as the crude oil burns totally out of control. Afterwards, the railroad moves quickly to rebuild the track, but your town remains a shadow of itself. Lake Megantik was a beautiful and peaceful community, just like San Luis Obispo. I think that's all you need to know before you make a decision. Thank you for your time.
