I'll take the second question first. Let there be no doubt that the military forces deployed in Afghanistan are well superior to the Taliban. We have excellently well-led, well-trained troops that have great equipment. We want to ensure the security of all individuals who are there. I would simply say we're working hard with our partners. We're working with other international partners. Certainly from a Canadian perspective, working with Pakistan is showing some promise, and certainly we need to continue that. We don't want to see more foreign arms go into Afghanistan.
