Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses. Unfortunately, one witness had to leave us.
You're being here this evening is extremely important. I know it's getting late. Please don't blame the technicians or the interpreters. It's not their fault. They work very hard; our hats off to them.
Mr. Spencer‑Churchill, I had a chance to review your submission to the committee. You don't pull any punches, you don't beat around the bush, no one is spared.
Should Canada endeavour to work with Pakistan more seriously when it comes to its relationship with Afghanistan? Is that the gist of your remarks this evening?
