Thank you very much for that comprehensive answer.
Ms. Cohen, I don't want to leave you out.
I'm curious. My colleague Ms. Mathyssen asked a question earlier this week to a witness about the idea of using the private sector.
Do you have experience in building in protections to ensure that the private sector is ready and available? You can do planning and prepare for natural disasters, but you don't always know exactly how they'll land or when they're going to start. How do you prepare so that they can handle it with relatively short notice? Two, how do you ensure that, in the time of crisis, there isn't gouging and there are protections in terms of costs?
We've heard lots of testimony about the benefits of the private sector. I have no issue with that. In a time of crisis you can go there, but is it cost-effective for taxpayers and can it get the job done? Do you have any experience or anything you want to add maybe to that line of questioning?
