I call the meeting to order.
This is the sixth meeting pursuant to Standing Order 108(2). The committee is dealing with a motion to study the Canadian Forces in Afghanistan.
We want to welcome our witnesses here today, Mr. Boivin and Mr. Massie.
We will allow you an opportunity to present your offerings here, and then there will be a round of questioning, one or two, whatever it takes to satisfy the committee. Feel free to take a reasonable amount of time. So 10 to 15 minutes would be nice, if that's what you have, and then we'll turn it over to the committee for questions and hopefully a good give-and-take during that time.
Mr. Boivin, are you going to start?
Go ahead, the floor is yours.
