A lot of effort has been made. However, not all of it has led to solutions, and that is the problem. I am being very honest with you.
The Taliban do not respect their amnesty. So the burden certainly falls on their shoulders rather than the shoulders of countries like Canada.
I understand the impatience and the frustration of committee members, who have been considering the situation for a while. I share that frustration as minister. However, you should know that the situation in Afghanistan is a problem for all the countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO, and for many countries around the world.
Just recently, I was in Indonesia with Mr. Thoppil, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs talked about her concern over the situation in Afghanistan because it is creating instability in the region.
