I think we all wish that Canada could have evacuated more people. I want to take this opportunity to thank the members of the Canadian Armed Forces and everyone at the Department of National Defence—especially those who are with us today—who supported the airlift evacuation effort.
I think it's worth trying to understand the reality on the ground and the barriers that existed at the time in relation to possibly staying on the ground longer or planning evacuation flights sooner.
Can you talk about some of those challenges?
