Mr. Minister, today Mr. Rae asked the question here and you were asked the question in the House about Canada's engagement, as to when the military engagement will come to an end. You made it very clear, here and in the House, that Canada's military engagement will come to an end in 2011. However, this document has indicated the progress. We still have a year to go, and we'll continue doing that. But now Canadians are interested in knowing what Canada will be doing after its military engagement in 2011 is done. What would Canada's focus then be, where would Canada be going, and what are we looking at post-2011? I think all Canadians are very interested in moving forward and seeing what will happen. Perhaps you can shed light on that.
