No, we don't have regular contact with the military. But the fact is that the military have to keep their operations to themselves. However, we send reconnaissance trips to the villages before I go. Some of the guys who are with me are ex-military and Afghans and they go and check. If there are military operations there, we don't go there. If I see Canadian military guys, I stop and identify myself and say I want to go there, I'm doing food aid. They know that I'm there and they'll tell me if it's not a good idea.
