Yes, thank you, Mr. Chairman. While we have been holding the Department of National Defence and our Canadian Forces to task and account this morning, I think it's good that we put on the record our appreciation for our Canadian Forces as they fight a very difficult situation in Afghanistan.
We want them to know that we are behind them 100%, even though we put you on the spot today. Therefore, I would ask our Vice Chief of Defence Staff, Mr. Natynczyk, if he has any way that he can do so, to communicate to the forces in Afghanistan and elsewhere around the world who are putting their lives on line to defend Canada that we here in the Parliament of Canada support them very much.
