It was roughly 2,000 during the entire course of the mission. We're down to roughly 236, I believe. We've been gradually drawing down. That's as of today.
The two ships have now returned to port, and the remaining members of the team continue to hand off various responsibilities. One of the last things I would say is that the Canadian Forces were involved in the building of shelters and latrines because of the concerns about sanitation. That was one of the last things they were doing as they were leaving. They were handing that off to private, or I should say non-governmental, organizations. With the rainy season coming, shelter will be one of the bigger challenges the country will face.
There was an urgent need. They were building, in some cases, the framing for 15 houses a day, which was an impressive effort. It was a Herculean effort on the part of many.
From my perspective, they were doing this above and beyond the expectations, because they felt such a connection to the people there. They really wanted to see Haiti given the restart that we all know it deserves. Canadians responded brilliantly, as you know, as far as personal donations are concerned.
Some of our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and women were reaching into their own pockets and contributing money. That was on top of having brought things like children's clothes, diapers, and things they were able to gather up before they left the port of Halifax. There are also some heartwarming stories of Canadian Forces personnel who were returning to Haiti. They left there in childhood, having been adopted by Canadian families. Some of them—I've heard stories—are in the process of adopting Haitian children themselves.
