I don't know if you asked the question to both of us, but I'm willing to give my opinion.
I don't think we can do that, sir. I think that Canada is a rich country, one of the best in the world. We have responsibilities and we have no choice. We have to involve ourselves where human beings are menacés, where peace is not there. When we can do something, we have to do something.
I'm talking as a Canadian here and also for CCAfrica. But I'm talking as a Canadian. We have no choice. I don't think we can pack our bags and say, “Let them solve their problems.” We are not in that human environment anymore. We are in a global village and we have no choice but to help human beings where they are.
I agree with you that Canadians do not have the stomach at this point in time to start over in Afghanistan, in terms of the number of people and all of that. I agree with that. The minister is right in saying that, too, but there are different degrees.
