Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Professor, I understand you are absolutely a wealth of knowledge here. One of the things you talked about, of course, is our national interest and in fact when we should be going into missions. In particular, you talked about the executive and Parliament but also about how important it is to convince the Canadian people on a mission. You did also talk about our fixation, if I might put it that way, with peacekeeping. I know that there are situations and that Afghanistan is in our national interest, but in that case we are actually working on peacemaking. So my first question to you is what could we do to convince Canadians that this is in our national interest?
