Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you, Mr. Obhrai.

Again, there are more tragic casualties inflicted by the Taliban. It's terrible.

I want to thank the witnesses very much for being here today. This is my first time at the foreign affairs committee. It's truly an honour for me to be here, especially this week, Veterans Week.

I have some quick questions.

Mr. Paris, have you ever been to Afghanistan?
