Director General, Central America and Caribbean Bureau, Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development

Just to clarify, you were asking me to comment on Canadian Armed Forces capacity. Okay.

Unfortunately, that's not within the purview of the ministry of Global Affairs Canada to comment on that. That would need to be someone from the Department of National Defence or the Canadian Armed Forces themselves.

See context to find out what was said next.
