Thank you very much.
I'll ask one, and we might have a very short one from Mr. Chisu.
I thought we shouldn't let the session end without making some reference to the conflict and the deep crisis in Syria. Obviously, the decision for Canada to be involved beyond the way we're involved today, through sanctions, would be a political decision.
I'd like to ask about our readiness militarily and in a whole-of-government context to cope with potential demands to tighten sanctions or be involved on the ground in a robust humanitarian mode or in other modes, because certainly there are a lot of proposals out there that could see the international community become more heavily involved. For all of us who've played a part in developing or seeking the observance of the responsibility to protect, the death toll is something that none of us can ignore. All of us in Parliament are increasingly concerned.
There's also a report today of a potential high-level defection in the Syrian government. As sanctions ratchet up, the situation could take new turns.
What kind of contingency planning happens as a matter of course to make sure that options and capabilities are ready to inform political decisions down the road?
