First of all, Canada wants Afghanistan to continue to be a priority for NATO. Second, it will be asking for assurances that the Afghan capacity to manage the challenge will be strengthened. Third, we want NATO to develop the Afghan National Security Forces.
However, before the meeting in Strasbourg, there will be a meeting in the Netherlands that will be chaired by Mr. Eide. It will involve NATO members, Afghanistan's neighbours and some other very important countries. Under Mr. Eide, and in partnership with NATO, the issues of development and governance will be discussed. So there is a fundamental international coherence in this regard.
Our strategy continues to focus, of course, on the security, but the Canadian goal is to meet the objectives set out in the parliamentary motion--that is, rebuilding, governance, and increasing Afghan capacity.
