Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Again, I welcome our witnesses.
There's a clear message that came through from Mr. Brodeur, Mr. Wallace, and also from General Hillier, who was our first witness, and that is that developmental progress and security are interconnected. I think you used the term “security and aid delivery”, actually, with a sharper, stronger focus on accountability. I think we're all cognizant of the huge challenges that CIDA faces on the ground with aid delivery, but obviously that can't happen at all without security.
I'm interested particularly in accountability and corruption and how we can work with the Afghan government in that non-military role, to which CIDA is well suited, to work against that.
