Mr. Speaker, I will not comment on where the weakest link is, but I will say that I do not think the troops who are representing us so well on the ground right now in Afghanistan are the least bit concerned about when this information may or may not have been passed up the chain of command. They are concerned with the fact that they are doing a job and they have the full and active support of the government and the people of Canada in carrying out a mission that is important for all of us.
