As with any interdepartmental task force, the whole concept of ensuring that we are working together, that our plans are well known and well devised, and that we respect each other's individual operational needs, individual communication needs, policy needs, housing needs, and social needs, are discussed by this body. It's about alignment, and it's about making sure we can proceed as fast as we can with our operational plans. It's also about communication to Canadians. It's also about all levels of government working toward this issue and helping Canada respond.
