Mr. Chairman, I think the total identified incremental costs of Afghanistan to date are around the $9-billion mark, I think, for the Canadian Forces and National Defence. I don't know exactly the number we're running at in 2009-10 and 2010-11. Whatever that number is, that number will no longer be available to the department and the Canadian Forces. It will no longer be appropriated for us. That number is in the order of $1 billion per year.
