Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have two brief questions.
Your answer to Mr. Dorion's question about whether the Taliban are gaining or losing ground concerned me. We can't say this is a purely military question that doesn't affect you, since the Taliban gaining ground would jeopardize your programs, your schools. In fact, it would jeopardize everything. So I am giving you a second chance to answer that question.
The other question dealt with capacity development, the possibility that the Afghans will act autonomously. Do you have studies that measure the results for that and your programs? If so, could this Committee be provided with those studies?
