Thank you. I appreciate that.
Understanding the complexity of this whole conversation and this issue, I really hesitate to go down the path of whataboutism and philosophically talking about what the possibilities are, what the best practices are or what that perfect scenario is.
I've heard members and witnesses compare this to the 9/11 situation. In this instance, we're talking about a government using data to really protect and to develop COVID health policies for our nation, whereas, as we go down this path of more complex data and data production, as you mentioned in one of your five points, there is this role that private companies play that was not there with 9/11.
Can you compare, as our member talked about, what the distinction is between a government using this data and restricting a government's use of this data versus private companies doing so? What role does a government have to play in ensuring an adequate balance in the use of data?
