We would welcome any and all advice that you might have for us at the Department of National Defence.
I want to thank this committee for the work that you do, for the personal interest that all of you have taken in travelling to Afghanistan, and most importantly for your very encouraging positive comments about the efforts of all Canadians, both those in uniform and those in a civilian capacity.
I think the committee and the staff here are to be commended. You're all part of the same team. We want to project an accurate picture of what's happening in Afghanistan, but we also want to demonstrate the support that I know is there for the important non-partisan work we're doing on behalf of Canada.
