If everything goes as scheduled, Canada's troops will leave Afghanistan in 2011. Has anything been done yet in terms of the transition? Canada has taken on many responsibilities, and we have been in the field for seven years now. I suppose that it will take some time to ensure the transition with the authorities who will be taking over. Is there some kind of plan or mechanism for others to assume Canada's responsibilities in Afghanistan?
