This is the 29th meeting of the Standing Committee on National Defence, dealing with our study on Afghanistan.
Today we have the Honourable Josée Verner, Minister of International Cooperation.
We're very pleased to have you here, Madame Minister. As usual, we'll give you an opportunity to give us your presentation and then we'll go to a round of questions. We have an hour booked for you; I hope we can keep to that timeline.
The floor is yours.
