Fine, because that would be a fairly intense issue. The Secretary General mentioned in his opening statement that the "Department is aware of the need to address information deficits". It is not unusual for public representatives to be told that a contract has been signed and people have already started moving into units, which is a situation that I have certainly experienced on a couple of occasions. The Secretary General continued, in his statement, to talk about countering misinformation. That is the vacuum from which "misinformation" will emerge. What is the plan to deal with this issue differently? Is the Department working to a plan? If so, what does the plan look like? Do the "information deficits" come into that?
