Citizenship and Immigration committee  Madam Chair, I will try to add some context to the question. This is a very complex situation, and I'll use my own experience there.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Madam Chair, given that some of the Afghans who were working with us were contracted through other nations or organizations, settling on a final number, in my view, is probably impossible.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Madam Chair, we started up a team in our strategic joint staff under General Prévost to help process all of these files. From there, we were able to validate the files and then make a referral from that perspective. For the exact details, I will turn it over to General Prévost t

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you very much, Madam Minister. I will say a few words about peacekeeping missions in the context of Afghanistan.

National Defence committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. As you mentioned, I was in Ukraine last Thursday and Friday, and in Poland on Saturday and Sunday, so I'm not sure which time zone I'm in.
