I'll be candid. We certainly don't have numbers at our disposal, nor is it the appropriate place of the church to do so. Nevertheless, there are some fairly clear recommendations in the brief that you'll see that we think can well be costed and, in an incremental way, build what we think is a strong reconciliation process at both local and national regional levels.
At the local level, that process would begin by partnering on the ground with civil society organizations with a credible track record. Who are those people? There's a range of them. The International Centre for Transitional Justice, which Canada has indeed supported in the past, is one of them. It has in-country staff in Afghanistan, some of the best analytical minds and the best survey minds that are available.
The Chr. Michelsen Institute has also produced very significant reflection on conciliation processes in Afghanistan—an excellent analysis that I encourage this committee to look at. Also, there are grounded indigenous NGOs. They are certainly struggling. Nevertheless, there is an organization called the Liaison Office, formerly known as the Tribal Liaison Office, which has done some excellent analysis and on the ground research.
These folks, in consultation and collaboration, would be able, I believe, to help establish a credible approach on the ground, in concert with the broader civil society engagement in the political negotiation process that John has been speaking to.
