Thank you for coming. I want to say at the outset that we really appreciate what you've done in Afghanistan and what our soldiers are doing.
The question I want to come back to is General Hillier's question about the agreement in 2005—the question that Madame Lalonde asked about your involvement in there, in which you very specifically and very clearly stated that this was done by the political masters.
At that time, it was Minister Graham of the Liberal government in charge. I go back to what Mr. Dosanjh said about holding the army in charge of breaking international law. If you are saying to me correctly that this agreement was signed by the political masters, who all came out with that, and you just were a signer, would that mean—and they're really asking you—that those individuals themselves, the political.... You were just following an agreement.
Am I understanding right that the involvement of the political leaders was very crucial in signing this agreement?
