That'll do for now.
When we were in Afghanistan last spring, one of the most successful programs described to us by the Minister of Agriculture and confirmed by some of our Canadian civilians in Kabul was the national solidarity program, which was said to enable communities to identify, through elected community development councils, local development priorities that would be delivered based on their priorities. Canada contributed $46 million to that program between 2008 and 2011. It seemed to give an opportunity to let communities have some local governance and some say or control over their future--this development aid coming. Is Canada going to continue to contribute to that?
