Madam Speaker, it is a pleasure to see you in the chair. It is a nice surprise for me this afternoon.
With respect to Afghanistan, there is one issue of particular concern to me, and that is what people think of the sacrifice that our veterans have made in going to the front lines, as well as the plight of the Afghans.
We must ensure transparency, and it is a good idea to establish a committee to shed some light. As parliamentarians, we also have a responsibility to look at the present and the future.
With this in mind, I would like to hear from the member what he personally plans to do to ensure that we learn from our mistakes in this conflict.
