I'm afraid I'm not really qualified to speak on what decisions are made by security people at Global Affairs. We have a very developed network of people on the ground, and they make decisions and give advice based on what they are seeing.
The world has, as people said, gotten a lot more risky in many places. I know that it is difficult sometimes to organize visits and things like that. I would not want to second-guess.... We would have to know what the individual situation was that people were being discouraged from visiting.
I would say there's a lot that could be done, perhaps to increase awareness and ties going the other way, for instance, having more outreach from people from missions coming to speak to parliamentarians when they're in Ottawa, doing conferences, doing things like that to increase the awareness of what Global Affairs does and what the foreign service does. Sometimes they're their own worst enemies, as far as getting the story out. There are ways of doing that.
I'm sorry to hear that parliamentarians are feeling they're being discouraged from travelling. I believe that is a loss to our understanding and to good decision-making on issues related to the foreign service and foreign policy.
