Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Gentlemen, thanks for being here today and for sharing your views with us. Thanks for your concern for peace and democracy, human rights, and women's rights in Afghanistan.
Before I ask you a question, I want to just correct the record. I believe that earlier, Mr. Dewar suggested an amount the government has proposed for Canadian support for civilian projects going forward in Afghanistan. My understanding is that it's approximately $300 million per year for all of Afghanistan.
