Mr. Chair, there have been recurrent criticisms of the corruption of the Karzai government. It is even said that the corruption of the Karzai government is eroding the political strategies the government needs to succeed in our mission in Afghanistan.
What specific measures is his department and the officials in Afghanistan taking to engage with the Karzai government on the corruption issue? That is the first question.
The second question is for the Minister of International Cooperation.
What specific measures is her department taking to ensure that Canadian funds for development in Afghanistan are not misappropriated?
