Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I also thank both of you for your presentations.
My question is for Mr. Bland. You talked about casualties. We know how many Canadian soldiers have lost their lives. Do we know how many soldiers from other countries have lost their lives in Afghanistan? Do we know how many Taliban have died in combat? Can we compile information on the force we are facing? I assume that we have killed a certain number of Taliban and that others have been taken prisoners. What is done with the prisoners? Do we keep them or do we subsequently release them? I assume that we do not.
I do not know if you can answer all of those questions. I think that it would be interesting to hear your views on that.
