I refer to the eight C-series railcar sets that have been launched into passenger service to date, and I ask: (a) how many instances of unscheduled maintenance have occurred, per each railcar set, since passenger service began; and (b) can the Minister provide an identifying number for each of the eight railcar sets?

(a)-(b)  Once again, the Liberal Party is keen to attack local railcar manufacturing, and the businesses who build them, like Hofmann Engineering, Unique Metals, Parker, Austbreck, Knorr-Bremse, McConnell Seats, Sun Screen, Pyrotek and RPC.
