Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good afternoon and welcome, Ms. Ducros, Ms. Boyd, Mr. Melanson.
I have two sets of questions. The first one is about costs and money and the second one is about capacity-building.
On the money, according to the Government of Canada, the submitted cost of Canada's engagement in Afghanistan for 2011 to 2014 is $700 million per year, over three years. The final cost will be known in 2014, but that is the estimate.
I am a bit confused by the numbers you gave to Mr. Bachand. Can you tell us exactly what CIDA's share is of the $700 million per year?
