Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says the government doesn’t anticipate the military’s involvement in the Middle East conflict, and is focused on helping Canadians leave the region.

Anand made the comments as she updated reporters on travel assistance for Canadians seeking to leave the Middle East over the weekend, including charter flights, block bookings on commercial airlines, and ground transportation options.
