Thank you for the question, Mr. Guilbeault.
We do not really have a list of indicators that could lead to the reopening of the embassy.
However, I'd say that if we were going to make the assessment, we'd evaluate it against the objectives of the government and the strategic priorities moving forward. If we were to see, for example, a large number of Canadian companies showing interest in Syria, that might be one indicator. If we were to see large numbers of Canadian tourists travelling to Syria—although that's not currently the travel advice—that might force a re-evaluation in terms of what kinds of consular services we could provide.
No one action or single point will lead to that decision. It's really a combination of factors. However, the decision must also be considered in the light of all the other missions in the region.
We need to decide what the real priorities for Canada are at this point.
