That's why in my conclusion I said the answer is probably not a legislative one. The answer to strengthening our ability to respond to these incidents will be operational and resource-based. We need to break down silos that exist between departments and we need to streamline our response capability.
Ms. Symons's suggestion that we have a dedicated official who does nothing but deal with hostage cases is an absolutely valid one and I very strongly support it. Operational and resource-based responses would be better than legislative ones.
