Thank you very much, Mr. Kingsley and Madam Davidson, for being here.
I just want to again really compliment you on the work you and your colleagues at Elections Canada have done. As you said, it's a real niche area for Canada, and with your leadership and the work you've done and the work your colleagues have done, you really try to provide stability in areas of chronic instability. It seems to me that as a country, this is a niche area that we could, and ought to, really capitalize on in the future.
My question really involves two countries. One is Afghanistan and the other is the Congo. Could you perhaps let us know what obstacles you foresee in the future in Afghanistan in being able to ensure that there are going to be future elections? And what structural changes are required in the Byzantine world of Afghan politics to enable the government of Mr. Karzai, or whoever becomes the government, to develop a structure that provides more stability on the ground?
Second, could you let us know what lessons you learned from the recent Congolese elections and what structures are needed in place to provide stability in that great country that has seen so much violence and heartbreak?
