Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have the answer to the first part of my question. My concern is that if this information is critical and it's important, what other avenues or sources, or what other committees, are available? It may not be specific to this situation, but isn't this study part of an overall study in terms of the government's responsiveness?
I heard on several occasions that some of the witnesses had indicated that the readiness should be for future potential crises of this nature. There were some comparisons made to the current conflict that we're seeing in Ukraine. There are other elements that the government should consider. There are elements here in the information that I believe Mr. Ruff is seeking that should be considered for other potential situations and that could be applied back to, for example, the situation in Ukraine.
So if the information is effective, valuable and meaningful for the government to develop some plans, actions and readiness programs, then there must be some other way that this information can come forward. That's my concern. Why would we restrict that information to only this committee?
