Well, again, there are multiple questions.
I've said in Parliament, and I'll say here again, it is the responsibility of the Afghanistan government to negotiate with the insurgency. If they are negotiating, it's their responsibility. It is not the responsibility of Canada to participate in any negotiation with the insurgents.
Canada is also part of NATO, as are some other friendly countries that are there in Afghanistan, numbering more than 30 countries. The ISAF commander and the ISAF headquarters deal on a regular basis with the Afghan government, and it's their responsibility to manage the whole insurgency in the country with the Afghan government. They would probably be in contact with President Karzai and his ministers to talk about any negotiations, if they're going on at all. But it's not the responsibility of the Canadian government or the Canadian troops to get involved in negotiating with the Taliban. We have our clear responsibilities and we are staying within that area.
As to how many Taliban there are or any other details about the Taliban, I'm going to turn to General Hillier and see if he can answer the question.
