Catherine Murphy: The witnesses are very welcome. I have commented in the past that some of the work that the Department has done was really good, particularly during Covid, and acknowledged on how flexible and quick the Department was in responding. I want to primarily focus on the Karshan case and the implications. I take issue with some of the comments Mr. McKeon made. First, the issue is not just about...
