Mr. Speaker, getting Canadian residents and Canadians out of Sudan is absolutely our priority. Just a few days ago, the UN Secretary General called Sudan one of the most dangerous places in the world, so we are operating in a very volatile and very difficult environment. At this point, 200 Canadians have managed to leave the country. Two planes have left Sudan. The goal is to help all the Canadians who have reached out and are asking for help. At this point, that is about 800 people. We are in contact with all of them. Some of them want to leave by land and some by air. Of course, we are doing everything we can to communicate with the countries around Sudan to negotiate safe passage.
