“Planes will be ready and waiting at the Kabul airport but they're unlikely to fill up entirely. But unless the Taliban shift their posture significantly - which is something the international community and Canada are working on - it's going to be very difficult to get many people out. We will get some certainly, but to get many people out, as many as we want, is going to be almost impossible in the coming weeks. The difficulty right now is personnel and the safety of getting them out," said Trudeau. It's been far fewer flights than people had hoped. It is an extremely difficult situation, but I can assure you that I and our ministers and our government is working extremely hard to ease all the barriers, whether they be around paperwork or bureaucracy, to make sure people are getting out of there as quickly as possible and to safety.”
