The safety part was extremely important.
As ministers, secretaries or equivalent, we looked at getting advice from our chiefs of defence staff on whether we could relaunch the mission after the evacuation. The advice we were given was that yes, we could.
In terms of all the resources that were needed—not just from us, but working together as allies.... I remember that my first call was with the U.K., and then we both spoke with the U.S. Secretary of Defense and at that time decided that we could.... Then we had our military folks work collaboratively to put the operation together.
We don't get into details of what equipment is actually going to be needed. That's for them to decide.
