I understand what Mr. Goldring is saying, but we know that this is the pre-eminent foreign policy challenge for your government and also for our country right now. It's clearly our duty as the foreign affairs committee to be able to deal with this.
This isn't going to be in lieu of the report done by Mr. Manley and company, but it would be a wonderful addition to it. We all know this wouldn't be the first time that various groups within Parliament are actually dealing with the same thing at the same time. If we have the interim report, as Mr. Wilfert suggested, which I think is a good idea, in the middle of December, but continue, we'll be able to look at the report by Mr. Manley when we come back and hear other groups that are important.
We also know that there's no way on God's green earth that we can actually do justice to this issue even by the end of February. However, by the end of February we can incorporate the work of Mr. Manley and his team. We can also provide some other groups to listen to in February, and we can really come out with a substantive series of solutions that will deal with the ever-changing nature, not only within Afghanistan, but also particularly within Pakistan, which is having huge implications within the country. That's not being dealt with, nor are the other regional implications outside of the country.
We can really do justice to this by looking at those players outside of Afghanistan that are having a huge play within the country and mitigating what's going on there.
