There are very clear rules about members of this committee of inquiry commenting on any media coverage or any witness contributions that have been made. I know Dr. Byrne has been writing extensively on this issue. An article she wrote recently is not in that space. A significant part of this inquiry is to look to the future and draw on lessons from the past to ensure that the type of crisis we had is not visited upon us again. Dr. Byrne wrote an interesting comment about stating the obvious and that this was one of the things this inquiry could be doing that was not done by others. I ask her to expand on that and add any other final points in conclusion.
