Mr. Speaker, I would disagree with the hon. member. We are never late protecting Canadians. We will always stand up for the security and safety of Canadians here in Canada and abroad. As the Speaker knows, yesterday the minister indicated that Canadians in Lebanon should make plans to leave. We are aware that the situation could be volatile there, and we want to make sure Canadians are safe. She has advised Canadians to leave the area.

Mr. Speaker, we have and we will continue to. These decisions are made by officials on the best advice. We will continue, as we always do, to ensure that Canadians are safe when they are abroad.
