I'll say this just as a quick comment, and maybe you could comment later in your testimony. The Government of Canada evacuated some 15,000 Canadians from Lebanon in 2006. Obviously, this is not at a scale near that right now. I understand that the Government of Canada has worked with close allies and partners on a much bigger evacuation plan. Maybe you could tell us whether this initial evacuation of some 1,200 citizens is part of that or if that larger plan with allies and partners is a different plan.
