I must compliment...the opportunity we had as parliamentarians to debate the extension of the mission in Afghanistan, something we didn't have as parliamentarians when the mission to deploy to Afghanistan first occurred.
You sat through the entire debate, listening to the valid concerns that were voiced on behalf of Canadians. Did you see anything or hear anything during that debate that would cause concern out of the perception that there was not public support for the mission in Afghanistan? Would there be any risk to our troops overseas about the perception that some Canadians don't support this mission?
