Mr. Chairman, I agree entirely with my colleagues. Obviously, without moving an amendment to the amendment, we agree on the fact that we want to deal with matters having to do with defence. We do not want to duplicate the work being done by Foreign Affairs, so there is no point in my proposing anything. In any case, I think that this is related to the type of work we want to do, and our purpose is to get a sense of the general thrust in matters of national defence.
I fully support this motion, and this visit should eliminate any doubt as to the possibility that a report exists. I think this is important so that we can see what has been done. This person is not just an MP, he is a special advisor to the Prime Minister. I did such work myself, for the region of Haiti in particular. He has duties in the area of national defence involving humanitarian aid, in a context similar to that of Afghanistan, that is to say the 3D policy, in order to ensure that we can use our troops as agents of stability and security as we did in Haiti. That is why we had a good mission there. It is clear that if he is studying issues involving South Asia and the Middle East, he will have a perspective on defence. We have to see, on the basis of his work, whether we feel it could be useful to us or not. But I think that for transparency's sake, it is essential and important that we also examine this report.
I think that it should not be too difficult to obtain the committee's support for the motion and the amendment.
