Time flies when you're having fun.
On today's agenda we have two motions to deal with, presented by Mr. Coderre. We'll split them up and deal with them—they were kind of worded as one—as two separate motions. One deals with procurement and one deals with travelling to Afghanistan.
I wish to start with the Afghanistan trip, and then I will give Mr. Coderre an opportunity to speak to this motion. To preface this a bit, I'm under the understanding—and I think others are as well—that the foreign affairs committee will be approaching the liaison committee today to travel to Afghanistan. Veterans Affairs was already approved at the last Liaison Committee meeting to travel to Afghanistan, and now, if this motions passes—and I'm not suggesting it will or will not—we'll be travelling. I think there might be some logistical issues to deal with, as far as DND is concerned, that we might have to delve into a little more.
I'll just preface with that.
Mr. Coderre, it's your motion, and I'll open the discussion with you.
