I think it's not for me to comment on how folks might necessarily look at the mission. Canadians can be proud of what their Canadian Forces are accomplishing there, each and every soldier—and that's the strength of it: those individual soldiers who are working their buns off, if I can use that term, each and every day to help local Afghans.
The problem is that they're small steps. Certainly within the vast majority of the country there are great strides being made forward, and the situation is stable. If we can bring that stability down to the south.... It's quite a challenge, and it will take time. I think it's the measured steps and the time it will take that are perhaps frustrating for the soldiers who see it each and every day. They know how long it's going to take, but I think they're a bit frustrated sometimes with others' perceptions that it could be done quicker. It is all progressing in the right manner.
