Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, witnesses, for being here.
Again I have to say it's obviously a very difficult situation to lose data like this, and so I can sympathize with the people whose data has been lost.
One of the things that's important to understand is the root cause of all of this. The root cause will help you come up with the best solution, in my opinion.
My question is this: why was this information allowed to be copied from a server to an external device, and what was the department's policy at this time on portable devices like this?
