Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I am going to share my time with Mr. Bachand. I will ask my question and then Mr. Bachand will ask his.
Thank you for coming here, Mr. Fuller. You paint quite a dark picture of the situation in Afghanistan, particularly about Canada's contribution.
Accepting the fact that you are saying that, in general, things are not going well and that we are heading for failure, is Canada's work with NGOs bearing fruit? Are we working consistently enough to be reasonably well accepted by the Afghan people?
