If you want to do development work in Kandahar, you need security, and we are working in partnership with officers from National Defence. I would like to categorically restate that CIDA is not withholding funding. A series of rapid action projects have already been put in place to improve things for the people there. I repeat, the situation is more difficult in Kandahar. We have to have security, but we nevertheless have some projects in the area. I have recently announced some of them. CIDA is not withholding funding for those projects.
