Thank you, Minister, and the panel for being here today. I have a couple of questions, but I'll make them very brief so you can get a chance to answer.
The Taliban is becoming more involved with the narcotics trade in the region of Afghanistan. Given the twin mission of ISAF, which is stabilization and counter-narcotics activities, will ISAF attempt to limit the opium trade activity in the south, and will this increase the exposure of Canadian forces to attack?
