Thank you very much, Madam Minister, for being here today. We recognize that health-wise you're doing this when you're battling a real cold and the flu, but we appreciate your being here and answering the tough questions on CIDA. And we appreciate also the hope you've given and shared with us that the people of Afghanistan are experiencing--renewed hope in great part because of the work that we have achieved during our stay there.
Thank you for being here. We will take a very short recess, and we will come back for the second hour of our committee.
