The committee is aware that, on a geopolitical level—we don't hope for it, but we see it all the same; we aren't out to lunch—there is an increasing chance that things won't go well, and that more and more territories will be controlled by terrorist entities all over the world. At the same time, it's all multiplied by the effects of climate change. Natural disasters will happen more and more often. So, x multiplied by y equals a lot of humanitarian crises.
Let's take an example that's hypothetical, but could happen in everyday life.
If there were an earthquake tomorrow morning in a territory controlled by a terrorist entity, it would be important for humanitarian aid organizations to get on the ground within the following hours. Does the current legislation in Canada allow them to obtain that kind of authorization? It's what the committee wants to know.
