Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'm afraid I can't answer that question, but I can go back to check with our officials responsible for consular and emergency management on that question.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  The interdepartmental effort continues to fulfill the commitment to bring the 40,000 Afghans who are eligible under this program to Canada. As you know, recently that number reached 30,000—that's an important milestone—so efforts to make the passage to Canada possible continue fo

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I believe that our colleague Mr. Salewicz is in the best position to answer this question.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'll take this question. The government response included 37 responses to the recommendations made in this report: 20 went to my colleagues at IRCC, 14 went to Global Affairs Canada and three were with Justice or Public Safety Canada as the lead. We have an extensive table of th

Citizenship and Immigration committee  My colleague Ms. Segal is probably in the best position to answer this question. I will translate the question into English, for the benefit of my colleague.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'd refer to my previous response in that I believe the military response, the military capacity or that aspect of evacuation is really only one part of the response.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I will offer the observation that military capacity is only one aspect of the response to an emergency evacuation situation. It is not only military capacity that we bring to bear. There's an awful lot of diplomacy involved in negotiating with host nations, partner nations and pa

Foreign Affairs committee  Generally speaking, as my colleague Christopher mentioned, health is very fundamental to our development assistance. I think the question is, in the immediate response, within our humanitarian response, whether access to medication is being considered, if I'm correct. I'll go a

Foreign Affairs committee  I will just say that I think until we understand the overall needs.... It's difficult to say that we have programs. It's quite soon to talk about specific programs to address this when we're still assessing the scale of the damage. The immediate response has really been focused o

Foreign Affairs committee  Mr. Chair, I think that in any natural disaster and destabilizing situation, there is the possibility for internally displaced people and those who are long-term displaced from their usual social networks to turn to radicalization. It's certainly an area that we are concerned wit
