The SAT is very positive for our forces in Afghanistan.
Excuse me, I will answer in English. This is a very important question, and I want to make sure I give you the exact right words.
Our strategic advisory team is there to help and aid the Government of Afghanistan. President Karzai has said a number of times how that team of both military and civilian.... It is mostly military, but there are also civilian members. We are currently working with the Department of Foreign Affairs to expand the civilian members on that team.
Over the next rotation, this summer, we hope that we will have a larger number of members from CIDA, Foreign Affairs, and other departments, who will work with us as we continue to advance this agenda with the Government of Afghanistan. They are strategic-level planners. They are there to assist and enable those key Afghan ministries.
We get feedback from the head of mission. Last week, when we had a visit from defence stakeholders to the theatre, Ambassador Lalani talked about the positive effect they were having and that the Afghans want us to continue to contribute and provide them with that level of assistance.
It is very important, and one that absolutely must continue.
