Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you, Mr. Schafer, for sharing this very interesting information with us this afternoon.
As a commercial lawyer in private practice in Toronto for many years, I was very familiar with the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada. I note that you're a member of that organization. I have attended the conference in Toronto on a number of occasions, and I know the great work that organization does in bringing together expertise, really, from around the world, especially Canadian expertise, and showcasing it to the world.
One of the areas of expertise I was familiar with, coming from the Toronto area, was the Canadian expertise in mining and resource company financing. I wonder if you could just comment on how that Canadian expertise could be of assistance in developing the resource industry in Afghanistan.
