Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of our witnesses for your presentations and, of course, for your work.
I would like to go first to the ambassador, if I may, and follow up the line about evacuation, or even immigration measures to be made available to Afghans. We have heard from other witnesses, including retired majors, who indicated that there would be opportunities, for example, to go to a third country to provide assistance and help people get to safety.
Do you have any information, or can you tell us about what you saw on the ground while you were there, as to how other countries were able to do some of that work? We understand that the United States and some other countries were able to continue that work. Is that something Canada can learn from those other countries, to try to get more Afghans safely through to third countries and then come to Canada?
