Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
General Thompson told us that people thought the security rating had gone from 55% to 30%, and that the number of attacks had doubled. So there is a growing feeling of insecurity.
Some of the local leaders and the people in the field right now are saying that Afghanistan is on the brink of chaos. Do you agree with that, given that even in Wardak province the Taliban are controlling about 60% of the territory?
Given that the number of attacks has doubled, do we have the equipment we need to carry out our mission properly? We purchased 100 tanks, and 40 of them are not ready yet and are at the Longue-Pointe base.
