Thank you.
Thank you for coming and giving us an update.
Post-2011 it will become one of CIDA's major involvements after the military mission is gone. Then, of course, we have the Department of Foreign Affairs and all the other ones coming in to form the larger picture of Canada's involvement in Afghanistan.
We have been there with signature projects and everything. Can you give us an idea of the level we have reached compared to the past, and the money we've spent? The opposition was talking about the money going now, but we seem to have forgotten about all the investment we have made already. So talk about the investment that has been made to date, and then what in the larger picture or scheme we have accomplished in Afghanistan.
Let me add a little caveat here. Every time we talk about a military mission we seem to hear about setbacks. In the development mission, the idea of course was that Kandahar.... I met with CIDA, and as Bob said, I was highly impressed. But if you were to leave us with an impression, what have you achieved for all the money? What are we going to do there for the next three years? And in the overall objective, where does Canada stand?
