Yes, the circumstances, as you point out, were really quite different, but the impact among the victims is really very similar. All of a sudden, loved ones are gone, and there is a huge sense of loss and grieving.
I think the message I drew out of that in terms of best practices in the government's response and how you move forward is for the government always to put the families of the victims at the centre of its response plans.
The families will need immediate emergency support. It may be physical. It may be psychological. It may be help with travel. It could be financial. There will be insurance arrangements to sort out. There will be remains to be repatriated. There's a whole raft of things that just fall on you like a disaster—as this was.
Whether it happened because the Max 8 was defective or because of a shoot-down, the trauma for the families is very similar. As your government is planning how to deal with emergencies, make sure your central focus is the families themselves.
Mr. Chair, I would just like to add, tangentially, a thank you to all members of Parliament. On at least three occasions, members of the House of Commons have moved unanimously to support resolutions that condemned the perpetrators of this disaster and supported the families. I've heard from the families that they appreciate very much that solidarity among members of Parliament, the stand four-square behind them as they pursue justice, truth, transparency and accountability for the dear loved ones they have lost.
