We fully support the idea of IRCC establishing an emergency response function. Afghanistan was a really good example of an international emergency that had huge domestic components as well, in that there was a massive immigration program that was being implemented.
For us, as a federal group of departments that have emergency management structures, we've been spending a lot of time looking at how we can work more seamlessly with each other and how we build that capacity. In the past year we've had a few crises. We've also had Ukraine and others. It does work. It is working very well. Afghanistan was quite unique in many ways—in the intensity, the speed and the scale.
Certainly GAC, as the international emergency lead, works very closely with domestic departments and their emergency response centres.
