You've taken away my punchline.
On a more serious front, you know that our Afghanistan policy is driven on the one hand from the Manley report, which set out the general principles and guidelines for our engagement there. We then went to Parliament, as you know. You, as the foreign affairs critic, as well as my predecessor in this position, were directly involved. I think everybody worked hard to scope out the responsibility and role that Canada must play in that area.

If I understand you correctly, you're inviting us to be more open to a frank and honest discussion. I have no problem looking at that, but once again reminding you that the government's policy is determined essentially by a vote that the House of Commons has taken. Any change in our fundamental policy would require that this be looked at again.
