Displacement is an issue I'm quite familiar with. In a previous life I was director of humanitarian affairs and disaster response, so I had lots of meetings with UNHCR colleagues in Kandahar. There's a strong UN high commissioner for refugees present. They're the ones who are the lead agency in dealing with IDP issues. Canada is providing them with significant support in Afghanistan. We also work with them on a policy basis. One of the things we've been discussing with the Afghan government both at the provincial level and at the federal level, if you will, is their policy towards internal displacement, the fact that there isn't necessarily a national policy on internal displacement, but there is a policy with respect to refugees and refugee returnees.
