On the point made by Mr. Watt to the effect that there is no evidence the Department of Health sought updates or reports from plaintiffs directly, from schools or from the Department of Education, he answered my question in that regard as to whether there is evidence that the State or it agencies did so. The committee should note Mr. Watt's response. There may be other committees that may wish to invite other players to contribute on this. Mr. Watt has said that the vast majority of evidence was provided by plaintiffs. Will he give us a little insight into how that evidence was elicited and provided?
