Thank you for your question. It is very important that it be answered.
First, I'd like to say that there have been lessons learned for everyone. I want to know how your committee feels about the recommendations.
On recommendation 1, of course, we always want to learn from the past and apply greater knowledge to future crises, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to every crisis. The Canadian Armed Forces conduct lessons learned exercises after every operation, whether it's Ukraine, Haiti, Afghanistan, etc., and there is no exception here. With the work your committee is doing, it's extremely important for us to also take that into account. I will be encouraging my department and the Canadian Armed Forces to make sure that we are hearing the words in your report.
On recommendation 2, whole of government co-operation is what we do. We are always working together across departments, whether it is hurricane Fiona here in Canada, or whether it is an international operation, including Operation Aegis.
Finally, as I've said a number of times, on bringing Afghans to safety, recommendation 18, we will continue to work and support IRCC in reaching the 40,000 number. This work is difficult. It's ongoing but, again, I look forward to the words of your committee.
It's important for us to listen so we know what we can do now and what we can do in the future.
