Let me move on to the next issue. I understand that the Minister of Defence has just announced, or made it known, that he's not attending the NATO conference in Brussels. I'm assuming the conference is still proceeding.
Obviously, at such a crucial time, when you have Canada's relationship with NATO being extremely important, and in fact recent news that NATO is going to be doubling its strength in southern Afghanistan, I am wondering whether you could tell me why, number one, there's the cancellation of the visit of the Minister of National Defence, and whether or not you knew that this doubling of the strength of the NATO troops in Afghanistan is going to take place, and when did you know that?
