When it comes to the conflict itself, we have to look at the reality on the ground. Various factions have signed on to agreement. We also know that the realities of peacekeeping have changed, and I've been very clear with Canadians and with all of you on this. This is not the peacekeeping of the past. It is with the intermix of radical groups, and everything from organized crime to governments themselves not being fully up to speed are part of the problem. We need to be able to make sure that we look at the realities of it, so when it comes to what we're sending, right now we're sending a capability for a mission that is sending helicopters for medical and transport support.
