Thank you, Mr. Coderre.
Naturally, it is up to each country to decide how much it wants to continue contributing to the mission, whether they are making a smaller contribution or a large contribution as is the case for Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States and so forth. These issues are constantly being debated. In our case, we know very clearly that countries must assess their capacity to contribute to the effort and that the time has come for us to do that. We have been looking into the issue of deploying a force for some time now. I am raising this again because this is the context in which we are receiving offers from other countries, both initial offers and offers to deploy and rotate troops. We must try to evaluate their long-term intentions and our own alternatives, while keeping in mind the fact that NATO has quite a long history of long-term missions. Take the example of the Bosnia mission, that lasted for a decade and during which NATO, with all its elements, was able to rotate troops, and so forth.
