Thank you.
Mr. Minister, when you look at all the projects and the progress that has been made on the many issues, and we look at the report here, the Afghanistan Compact, and we see how the projections on those are given years.... Most of them seem to be using the year 2010 as the time to have most expectations accomplished.
My question is, are we relatively...? Or are there particular areas that perhaps are more problematic than others? It would seem to me, from the reporting, that most of our progress is quite in keeping with those periods of time.
The other comment I'd like to make, to add to what the other gentlemen have been saying, is that it seems to me this action by Canada, where the military has the real support of the Afghan people, which is very crucial to being able to accomplish many of the other civil society structures and the infrastructure.... In speaking to a former military person, he's equated it to the liberation of Holland, from the tyranny and oppression of that time. And he's saying that Afghanistan is doable, and that much the same results can be obtained too, if we keep proceeding in the way we have been.
Could you comment on that, on the overall...?
