Thank you for the opportunity, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Bastarache, thank you for being here today to answer our questions about your report on the toxic culture in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
The Swiss cheese model was created by Professor James Reason more than 20 years ago and recently used by virologist Ian Mackay to build a pandemic defence. Briefly put, the theory is that no single type of intervention is enough because every individual measure has holes, which is why we need several slices of cheese, or interventions, to block the risk. The more layers of cheese, or measures, there are, the more protection is provided and the fewer cases fall through the holes.
Based on that model, could you name your five to 10 main recommendations that, despite the holes in each measure, could complement each other to provide better protection?
You can always send them to us later if you need time to consider them.
Do you understand my question?
