Okay.
This is more of an open-ended question. This is your last appearance in front of our committee before we go into drafting instructions to report back to the House as they have ordered us. We would like to include recommendations in that report to assist future governments in the execution of their role.
What advice could you give to this committee about what we could have done better in evacuating Afghans from Afghanistan last August, particularly Afghans who have an enduring and significant connection to Canada? It seems to me that some of our allies did a better job than we did. We evacuated some 3,500 Afghans by the end of the August. If I look at the United Kingdom, they evacuated 11,000 people. NATO allies, particularly the U.S., evacuated over 70,000 people.
What lessons can we learn from this that we could include in our recommendations to assist future governments?
