The goal would be to use the tools at our disposal.
That happened in the case of Kosovo.
The biometric tests were done on Canadian soil by Canada Border Services Agency officers who also have a biometric capacity. Instead of doing them before, we managed to bring people here.
So I'll leave you with that example. I think it would be a really good idea to eventually add these tests to your services in the event of such a crisis.
We're talking about a crisis, but it's not necessarily an armed conflict. It could be a natural disaster, like an earthquake or a tsunami, when people need to be evacuated quickly. Since you're on the front line most of the time, this could be another tool so that everyone can get out quickly and be accepted here in Canada.
If I understood correctly, you talked about ad hoc departmental meetings.
Would you be able to tell us how many times you met about the Afghan crisis? I'm asking the question because you told us that there were ad hoc meetings. I imagine there must be a number. If you don't have it today, would it be possible for you to submit it to the committee?
