Okay, but if I can be a little bit specific, some of the things that we talked to officials in Afghanistan about last spring included the suggestion, for example, that Canada has a lot of qualified and trained Afghan expatriates who have technical skills and abilities, and if Canada had a program, that would provide support for them to return to Afghanistan for a period of time. You don't have languages issues, you don't have culture issues, you have skills that are there. The Minister of Agriculture himself was an example of someone with Canadian training and experience, and of course there are others, the governor of Kandahar City.
Those kinds of programs are not possible under the mandate that you've been given, I take it. So if our committee were to recommend such a thing, that would involve either a change of the mandate or some other government program to take place. You can't do it under your current mandate is what I'm thinking.
