The task force is made up of officials from CIDA, Foreign Affairs and other departments. I preside over a weekly meeting with the deputy ministers of Foreign Affairs, CIDA, National Defence and Canada's armed forces, including Chief of Defence Staff Hillier, Lieutenant General Gauthier or Colonel Natynczyk. I oversee this task force of deputy ministers that is linked to the committee chaired by Minister Emerson.
I've created a task force in the PCO of people from various ministries who have a great deal of experience on Afghanistan. Our job is to work with the key departments and agencies to set an agenda that's focused on achieving the Manley panel recommendations, and I work with the deputies of those departments, on a weekly basis, to make sure we're on track to do that.
