Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you for appearing in front of our committee.

You mentioned that you facilitated 1,500 departures from Lebanon. Is that correct?

By “departures”, does that mean...?

Let me ask the question differently: How many flights have you facilitated leaving Lebanon? How many seats have been on those flights? What portion was filled by Canadian citizens and permanent residents? What portion was filled by other foreign nationals? What percentage has been empty?

That's my first question.
