Thank you, Mr. Minister.
Maybe before we get into the first round, you did mention our recent trip to Afghanistan. I'd like to pass on the committee's thoughts to you on the great job we found our men and women doing there, from the leadership on down the ranks.
At times, we had the opportunity over dinner or breakfast to have direct contact with the troops. To the person, they were proud of what they were doing and confident in their task. We came home a pretty proud bunch of parliamentarians to know that we have people like that out there, doing their job.
Thank you.
Mr. Coderre, you have ten minutes.
