Okay, thank you.

Mr. Staples, I know you were on the CBC recently, and I'm sorry this isn't in the field you were talking about here, but you were speaking about Afghanistan. You had pretty strong views on Afghanistan, as I remember. You don't believe we should be in there much longer; we should be pulling out, if I have you correctly.

I would like to know if you agree with a negotiated settlement about how to do that. Obviously, in your head you have some ideas about how we would go about doing it, if we have to extricate ourselves. Could you give us some enlightenment there?
