I think we need to stay the course. This requires, to quote others, strategic patience. We cannot get impatient. We have to remember that this effort is only going into its fourth year, so this takes time. We need to stay the course and keep the investment. We also need to give ourselves the flexibility to not just go for change, but to go for reform. I actually think we've done this through our training mission and our other investments—I'm talking from Global Affairs, Public Safety, and all the players that are involved in the Canadian effort. This means we have to train trainers, we have to mentor, and we have to stay alongside our partners and let them take the ownership to go the next bound. This is extremely important.
