Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thursday wasn't perfect. I had conversations with the military. The military people that were there helping us were pretty calm about it. They said, for the first day, it's actually going pretty smoothly. Yes, was there a long lineup? Yes. Were flights not ready to go? Yes. But I can tell you the next day we had people out and when people were registering, we were getting them on flights. We had the military that brought in four extra crews to help us get those flights out. So we did have that. We were still within the timeframe that we had. I understand where the Member's coming, and I still take her phone calls whenever she phones and I mean, I understand we got a job to do. However, at the end of the day we had a process of evacuating people from this city, from Dettah, and N'dilo, and we were following that process. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
