Looking at the timeline here, I think it's important to look at this peacebuilding in Afghanistan on December 11. While I can certainly understand why we would want to put forward a report, to suggest that we could wrap this issue up into a report that has full meaning to it, when we're still discussing with the NGOs on December 11--and do this by December 14--is being a little bit over-optimistic. I would suggest that this time of December 14 for wrapping up the report is just too problematic. How can we have a meaningful report by that date, with the consultations that we have from now until then? And then considering that we will not have had the benefit of talking to or interviewing or having committee meetings with the independent panel that is looking after it, I would suggest that December 14 is very problematic.
