Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to start by thanking the witnesses who are here today.
As you may know, this committee was created to focus on the current humanitarian crisis. It's about looking beyond the political games and really focusing on the present and the very short term future to help the people who are suffering. We really want to see concrete recommendations and results quickly. That's what this committee is all about.
I'll try to ask my questions quickly. They're for both of our witnesses.
Canada currently considers the Taliban regime a terrorist entity. On the ground, does this affect humanitarian aid?
