Mr. Speaker, it is not often that I have the privilege to ask a supplementary question during debate.
Once again I go to the logic of the position that the hon. member is putting forward that we do not have a success date. We are locking in our soldiers to be engaged in Afghanistan for three more years without a measurement of success, without an understanding.
I think our position in all ways is more defensible. We are saying that the mission is not succeeding and that we need to change the mission. In order to change the mission we need to withdraw from the effort that we are engaged in now in southern Afghanistan and put forward a new approach from Canada.
How does it work to keep our soldiers in Afghanistan for three more years without understanding what success there will be?
