Thank you.
Thanks to all the witnesses for being here.
Dr. Shaaran, I'm a little confused by something you were saying about aid being diverted from the region. It sounds like this is not something that's been just since the Taliban took over in the country. It was prior to that, so I'm a bit confused.
We have Canadian aid organizations that are working in Afghanistan and have been for quite some time. Why would Canadian aid organizations be diverting aid from the region?
