Okay. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The motion, as you know, deals with the invitation to General Raymond Henault to appear in front of the committee. I think it was an oversight that he wasn't invited before this, seeing that he is a Canadian and he's been the chair of the top military committee in NATO for the past two years, ever since he was replaced by General Hillier. He was elected to that spot by other NATO members, so he's in a position, really, to give us a tremendous insight from the NATO point of view about how well we're doing, how well NATO is doing in Afghanistan, or not doing, whatever.
I think he would really help the report, in that he could give a point of view from a broader perspective than some of the other witnesses we have had. This is a NATO operation. We are an integral part of the military operation, the military side there. I think his testimony would be invaluable to our committee, so I move that we invite him and incur the necessary expenses in so doing.
