Thank you.

Thank you, Minister, for coming.

There are two questions I will ask you before, I am sure, my other colleagues ask.

One question, of course, was the question I debated yesterday with Paul and the Liberal critic, Bob Rae, on CTV about the situation in Pakistan. You rightly answered the question in the House. Pakistan is a very important player. Stability in Pakistan will, of course, bring stability into Afghanistan, which is our foreign affairs priority.

So I would like you to elaborate on the situation with reference to Pakistan, specifically whether we are going to be lifting the arms embargo on Pakistan or not. Would you like to clarify that position, Minister?
