Mr. Speaker, that could have been avoided if the minister had had proper information services, but he did not.
On another note, the Afghan mission cannot succeed if we do not win the hearts of the Afghan people and the public. We learn from the mouth of a Canadian chaplain that officers tell Canadian soldiers to ignore sexual assaults committed by the Afghan army against the public. That does not make sense. By closing our eyes, Canada becomes an accomplice to those crimes.
Is that a new way of winning the hearts of the Afghans?
