Thank you Minister Bibeau and Minister Dion, for being here today.
We have Canadians all over the world working as staff in our embassies. Our mission is not to support only our staff, but all Canadians abroad, in their work and travels. These Canadians represent our Canadian perspective in their good work. I understand the security of our people is of the utmost importance to you and your department. I can see some changes in the estimates accordingly.
Can you talk a bit more about the steps that are taken in these estimates to ensure security of our embassies and other Canadians working abroad?
