made the request on Jan. 20, 2022, according to documents obtained through an access-to-information request.
The document says the EU replied in early April 2022, offering space for two Canadian officials in the compound “on the condition that biometric screening be performed in a third location managed by the Government of Canada.” But as of June 2022, the briefing note states “we are still assessing the legal, duty-of-care and operational implications of this offer,” adding there are “significant legal constraints that limit Canada’s ability to re-establish any kind of presence in Kabul.”
“We do not discuss operational details of our missions abroad for security reasons,” spokeswoman Patricia Skinner wrote.
