I don't see a role for Canadian battalions to go fight in Mali. I do not see the Canadian battalions doing peacekeeping. What I do see is Canadian instructors preparing African Union forces to enable them to take on that capability.
We were in Nigeria, which had Boko Haram, and we could see that they needed capacity to handle that type of threat.
I would strongly advise on what we should do, and interestingly enough, it's in the defence policy paper. Rwandans, as an example, have 6,000 troops deployed in peacekeeping. We are training battalions of Rwandans to go into those mission areas in South Sudan and the like. They want to do it. They want to be professional, and they will bring their assets and tools, but there are certain technologies they can't bring, such as helicopters.
