Embassy in Lebanon prepared to help every Canadian there evacuate if necessary, ambassador says
Canada’s ambassador to Lebanon says the embassy and its staff are ready to assist the approximately 17,000 registered Canadians in the country should they need to evacuate, amid escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah.
Stefanie McCollum told CTV’s Power Play host Vassy Kapelos in an exclusive television interview airing Tuesday that “planning is underway” for possible assisted departures, and that she “feel(s) prepared” if the federal government announces it’ll go ahead with that measure.
