From my perspective in Global Affairs, my role was specifically looking at the protection of Canadians and locally engaged staff who were supporting the initiative. We would be the ones who reach out and engage with all the various stakeholders in the country, as well as with our partners. We wanted to make sure we had all the information necessary to constantly monitor what was going on in theatre, to make sure that we had information in advance of the team's coming in place, to make sure the appropriate security protocols were in place, and to make sure that we had the appropriate interview structures, right down to the departure point at the airport.
We also wanted to make sure that we had adequate facilities in place to ensure that our Canadians and locally engaged staff were safe in doing their jobs to complete the last remit.
