In this case, given the context, the lack of commercial departure options, and the absolute need for the Government of Canada to facilitate and support the exit, a decision has been made that we will not be recovering the costs of this evacuation. It's being offered as a humanitarian measure to support Canadians and their families, so cost will not be an obstacle for Canadians who wish to depart.
