Thank you, Madam Chair.
I thank the department officials for being here to participate in this important study. I also thank them for their work. They have my admiration, as the work of the department must not always be easy.
I would like to ask a question that the witnesses will have no difficulty answering.
As we know, Canadian non-governmental organizations can no longer do their work on the ground in Afghanistan because the Criminal Code considers the Taliban a terrorist entity.
As a result of the fall of Kabul, has the department had to terminate any of its contracts with Canadian non-governmental organizations?
