One wishes it would work. We have serious tensions between the Department of National Defence and the Department of Foreign Affairs. We have tensions between both of those places and the PCO and the PMO. We do not seem particularly able to get our act together, and it would be a good thing if we could, obviously. I'm not quite sure how one achieves this, but we have not exactly distinguished ourselves thus far in achieving a whole-of-government approach to Afghanistan, for example.
