Can I add one thing? Everything Chris has said I agree with.
You did refer, sir, to one point about the military having cash in hand and the effectiveness of that. I can tell you that the strongest, clearest impression that we in NATO have gotten, and certainly I have gotten from very many trips to Afghanistan and in regular consultation with the militaries, is that this is very valuable. It has an incredible impact, and not having it has a negative impact.
I know there are discussions within Canada about this, but I would make the case from a third party advocate that putting cash into the hands of your military when they go in, in the immediate post-reconstruction moment, is very valuable, and it's something that, as a committee, I think you should consider.
