That's a fair comment. Thank you for that.
I'm interested in Mr. Bowen's mention of the German model—of which there are some champions here on Parliament Hill—the civil defence volunteer force. This is a process and a structure that really took decades to build. If Canada were to go down that road, Professor Bowen, what would be the three priorities that we really would need to be seized with to make sure that happens?
Then, maybe grafted onto that question, how much need would there be for civil-military coordination and co-operation if and when such a structure is built?
