Thank you, Chair.

Thanks, Minister, for appearing before this committee.

Minister, there has been a lot of confusion among the public and at this committee about the differences between the situations of people looking to leave Ukraine and those looking to leave Afghanistan. Could you briefly explain some of the differences, such as Canada's ability to operate in each country and the ease with which people can leave each of those two countries?
