Mr. Speaker, the member is talking about an announcement made by the Italian government.
I had a very good meeting with Prime Minister Berlusconi. After that meeting it was the government of Italy that announced the fact that it was reviewing the caveats that it has in place on its forces in Afghanistan.
As we know, in the last few months the French have moved to step up their involvement in Afghanistan.
Those are very good developments for NATO, for the United Nations, for Afghanistan and for Canada.
