I guess following up from that, there's been talk about what a foreign affairs minister knew or should have known, or what a defence minister knew or should have known.
In your experience in both of those positions, can you describe for us the kind of activities that you would have undertaken as either Minister of Foreign Affairs or Minister of Defence with respect to a mission like Afghanistan? For instance, who would you have consulted, what kinds of messages would you have received, what volume of message traffic would you have received, and that sort of thing?
