You're absolutely right, Ms. Black. This is the chief source of funding for the Taliban. When they're able to pay cash on the barrelhead for farmers and Afghan citizens to participate in this trade and they're able to pay them, in some cases, twice or three times as much as an Afghan soldier or police officer would receive, they're able to convert people pretty quickly to that cause. The choice for Afghanis in that situation is to put food on their table or to fight to defend their country, and it's a very difficult challenge.
The British have been the leaders in this particular aspect of the challenge, aided by other NATO countries. Canada has not put forward a specific commitment to that particular area. We have participated in the broader issues that surround it, of course, trying to get people to move away from that type of crop, giving them alternative crop information and advice.
I'm going to ask Mr. Mank perhaps to comment on this as well, because he knows more of the specifics, but that is also a broader issue, if I can put it that way, that the NATO countries are facing. To use your words, how do we give the Afghan people a better alternative?
We also have a real self-interest in this, because that heroin or poppy is making it to our country. It's arriving here in Canada, and it's certainly throughout Europe.
We're engaged in that process, but the British are the ones who have been tasked specifically with that issue.
Mr. Mank, do you want to add anything?
