Do the Canadian roads use switch covers?

Found out about them from reading Metra (Chicago)'s press release on winter prepartions.

CN uses plywood over turnout points. The photo shows the arrangment at Von Zuben east of Valemount BC, Red Pass has a similar arrangment, as well as other locations on the CN main line.
