Thanks again for being with us and for your presentation.
In your presentation you talked about Canadians providing police vehicles. It brought to mind the State Department report that came out last year indicating that over 50% of the vehicles that were provided to the Afghan police disappeared. So as a comment, I hope there's some kind of system keeping track of those vehicles so they don't disappear to wherever the ones from the Americans disappeared.
When you were here in March, you talked about surface-to-air missiles. That was something Canadians were concerned about, or ISAF was concerned about. They were starting to see the potential of those being used by the Taliban. The reports I'm seeing from the media on the Chinook helicopter going down yesterday seem to indicate there's some concern that it came down from a surface-to-air missile. When we talked before, we talked about the situation in Pakistan, the open arms sales in bazaars, the ability to buy almost any kind of weapon without any discretion. Now we're hearing that perhaps arms are coming in from Iran.
I want to know what you know about that, what Canadians know about that, and what might be taking place to try to stop other countries from supplying these kinds of weapons into Afghanistan.
