Mr. Chairman, we will not be moving any amendments. We plan to vote against the motion as a whole. I had requested that theMinister of National Defence appear to speak to the issue of supply, but unfortunately, he was unavailable, or did not make himself available. Now, it would seem that he is available to testify.
Moreover, we have already conducted a study on Afghanistan. We are pretty familiar with this file. Many, if not all, members of the committee have travelled to Afghanistan. The Manley report commissioned by the Prime Minister has been tabled. I believe most, if not all, of us have read it.
I fail to see how what is being proposed here is relevant, particularly since we held a joint meeting before the holidays which was attended by theMinister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of National Defence. Consequently, I think we can settle this matter quickly, Mr. Chairman.
I plan to vote against this amendment as a whole.
