Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for coming to our committee.
I want to ask you about the evolution of the mission. In 2005, under the previous administration, under Prime Minister Paul Martin, we started under Operation Enduring Freedom before it changed over into the ISAF mission. So it seems to me we've had, since 2005, quite a few years to assess how the mission has evolved.
I wondered if you could talk about that. What changes have you seen in the direction, and what changes have there been to our mission there?
