Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I have a couple of comments, first to Mr. Landry. I certainly agree with you that our role there needs to be to, as you put it, “assist and protect” the community. At the same time, we all realize that sometimes that means confrontation with the Taliban. That's the unfortunate part of it, but it's reality.
I'd also like to thank you, Ms. Banerjee. You mentioned earlier that you worked 18 hours a day for a while, through CIDA. I can tell you, as a farmer in my other life and even sometimes in political life, that I know what those kinds of hours are. So I thank you for that.
There's something that maybe you or any other witness could answer. How many years is it that Afghanistan basically had a democratic government and what have you? Do you know that figure?
