Thank you for the question.
I think if a commission shines greater light on this emergency management disaster response base, because it is a complex policy area and growing, then I think it can be only good. Everyone who works in my field would agree. I think the committee can appreciate that those kinds of bodies will probably not lead to short-term or medium-term solutions. I think more practically the kinds of suggestions that Mr. Sauvé has emphasized from a preparedness perspective, enhancing civilian emergency management capacity, are all very good ones that the provinces and the federal government should look at.
I would just caution, as I think I have throughout, not to throw out the baby with the bathwater, because there is a certain tier, a certain level of support, that we won't be able to replace that the military has.
