Mr. Chairman, given the minimal number of CIDA staff that you have in Kandahar province, where do you get these reports from in terms of your evaluations or benchmarks? Do they come directly from CIDA personnel? Do they come from the Canadian military? Do they come from the Afghan government? How can you be assured that what you are hearing is in fact actually happening, given so few personnel? I don't think you have increased it since I was there a year ago.
