Harper says Canada is mounting the biggest evacuation effort in its history. He says hundreds of federal employees have been working quickly to put the plan into place. Speaking at the residence of French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin in Paris, Harper says the size of the evacuation and Canada's limited capacity as a smaller power make moving the thousands of nationals a huge task.
