We are very happy you're here as part of the debate that's going on.
As you know, since your report was released the government has taken concrete steps to implement a number of the recommendations you have stated. Of course, even this motion that is in front of the House to be debated with input from the Liberal Party as well.... I want to tell my colleague from the Bloc, that motion does have an end date in there that she's seeking. So she should read that motion, which is going to be coming up for debate.
As you know, from what you have recommended, as well, the Prime Minister has called NATO allies looking for the 1,000 troops. He's going to Bucharest for their thing. He's also done a cabinet committee on that. Mr. Mulroney, sitting in the back there, is part of it. What do you think of the government steps so far in achieving the objective of what you have recommended to the government? That's question one.
Question two is that recently a British parliamentary delegation came to Canada looking at their role. One thing they were really surprised about was that Canadians do not go to Afghanistan to see the level of progress, to understand what is happening and how the progress is ticking on, so they can come back and report to Canadians. I'm talking about Canadians in general; I'm not talking about one panel like yourselves or somebody. This would help Canadians understand the tremendous sacrifice and the involvement of Canadians in Afghanistan. Don't you think that would be a good recommendation to have?
