I shall be brief, Mr. Chair.
We must be coherent, and we have accomplished a great deal of work on our Afghanistan mission. For security reasons, the time when that will take place will not be specified, but just between us we know that this fall there will be a trip organized by National Defence. From August on, there will be troops from the Royal 22nd Regiment there. We also think it would be right and appropriate to join our friends from the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development and the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs to go to Afghanistan. There is the whole issue of security, but if it is possible, let us do what we have to, to initiate the process for us to join them in Afghanistan.
Lots of things have occurred in the past ten months. In view of our achievements, notably with regard to the Afghanistan report, I think it is appropriate for us to take action so that we can also go there.
