Syria is heating up; it's pretty fair to say that. You can see the diplomatic moves that are coming. The Arab League has basically isolated Syria. We have a warship in the vicinity. The opposition is moving beyond their base. Turkey is adopting a stance that is, for want of a better term, far more belligerent. There are refugee flows back and forth.
It's not unreasonable to anticipate that the world is going to require a greater intervention. I wonder whether you could share with the committee the state of readiness of the forces to participate in that state of readiness, with possibly an intervention or possibly just simply an evacuation of Canadian nationals or dual nationals, or whatever. Could you tell us about your state of readiness? I would have thought that any prudent planning would have to include Syria as the foremost potential point of intervention.
