Fisheries committee  Mr. Chair, our involvement with coastal nations actually starts well before any incidents. As part of our response planning, we engage the various communities by identifying what's important to them, some of the environmental sensitivities in their particular area and also how they want to be notified and who we notify.

Fisheries committee  Whether a command post is still going or not doesn't extinguish the Coast Guard's mandate. The folks who were in the command post have program responsibilities. That just transitioned from what we had as a very formal, separate structure to look after those decisions and then moved into the program.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, sir. Thank you for the question. In every case you can always do better. We do a post mortem in all of these cases. Right now we're actually in the middle of the after action report. We have three groups we're talking to. We looked at the command post staff. We did that one in December.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, sir. No, at the time, we were staffed appropriately and all the notifications were making it through to the various duty officers.
