I want to thank you for coming and appearing before our committee. I found what you had to say very interesting.
I'm curious about the NGO that you had up in Germany, because I've had the experience with NGOs as well. I'm wondering what area of Afghanistan they're operating in, and is it the same area where the German military is operating, or is it in a different area? And how closely are they integrated? We've had a great deal of debate and discussion here in Canada about the militarization of aid, and concern by our NGOs that this is problematic, and I'm wondering if you've had that same kind of debate in Germany as well.
