Mr. Mulroney, I'm a little surprised that you didn't talk about two issues that put some of this in context. The first one, obviously, is the question of the election and the impact that it's having with respect to the Afghan constitution--whether President Karzai will be in fact allowed to stay beyond May, given that the election is not taking place until August.
The second one is the question of Pakistan and the question of the overall regional issue. I've been harping on this question for some time. I would certainly appreciate it if in any future discussion you could tell us more about what's taking place in the northwest of Pakistan, which is the training ground for the Taliban. Unless we get a handle on that subject, I don't think we're going to be able to deal with the nature of the insurgency.
Could you touch on those two points?
Mr. Coderre will have a question afterwards.
