Thank you, Madam Chair.
I thank all the witnesses for being here today.
I also thank my colleague, Mr. Kram, for really sussing out that essential tension between whether we are continually in this catch-22 where we're throwing money at simply solving emergencies and saving lives, or whether we are able to do the right thing soon enough and capture some of that money and then putting it into prevention.
I do have a question for Ms. Wilkinson. What do you mean by saying that, prior to 2013, emergency management was on a recovery basis only? What does that mean?
