I would support an independent process, of course. That's an easy one.
The fact, though, is that an independent process isn't a necessary prerequisite to putting a plan like this in place. Of course, we should have lessons learned and they should inform ongoing efforts, but there have been so many reviews. I've mentioned a few reports already, both from international institutions and from other countries that have taken undertaken reviews. There is so much already available for us to learn from. We need a piece of legislation with an accountability architecture in place very much like this to ensure that we have an obligation on the government to table plans in a public-facing way and update plans on a going-forward basis.
I don't think either one presupposes the other. Let's have an independent review. Let's also pass this legislation to ensure that there is pandemic prevention and preparedness accountability to Parliament.
