Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I thank the witnesses for being with us today.
In Canada's action plan for the implementation of the United Nations Security Council resolutions on women, peace, and security for 2017‑2022, Canada had set as a priority objective in Afghanistan to support increased representation of women in the Afghan national defence and security forces and to support women's rights organizations in advancing the Afghanistan action plan on women, peace and security 2017‑2022.
Given what has happened in 2021 and given the constraints of the Canadian Criminal Code, how can Canada ensure the implementation of the objectives it had set out in the 2017‑2022 national plan and how can we ensure a follow‑up on the ground given the situation?
