I think our objective here is not to try to back anyone into a corner, but to get a clear understanding of the situation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8663369\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Earlier, my colleague Michael Chong made a comparison with the figure from 2006, when we evacuated approximately 15,000 people. In the situation before us today, 1,200 people were assisted or evacuated, if I understand correctly.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8663370\" data-originallang=\"fr\">What was the rationale for evacuating 15,000 people in 2006, and why wouldn't that rationale be just as valid today?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8663367\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8663368\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je remercie infiniment les repr\u00e9sentants d'Affaires mondiales Canada d'\u00eatre des n\u00f4tres aujourd'hui et de nous \u00e9clairer sur la situation et la r\u00e9action du Canada. Je pense que notre objectif, ici, n'est pas d'essayer de mettre qui que ce soit en bo\u00eete, mais de bien comprendre ce qu'il en est.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8663369\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Tout \u00e0 l'heure, mon coll\u00e8gue Michael Chong a fait une comparaison avec les chiffres de 2006, alors qu'on avait \u00e9vacu\u00e9 environ 15 000 personnes. Dans le cas qui nous occupe aujourd'hui, si j'ai bien compris, on a accompagn\u00e9 ou \u00e9vacu\u00e9 1 200 personnes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8663370\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Qu'est-ce qui justifiait qu'on \u00e9vacue 15 000 personnes en 2006, et pourquoi cette justification ne serait-elle pas tout aussi valable aujourd'hui?</p>"
