Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The minister will be aware of the reports yesterday that Ambassador Peter Galbraith, who was the UN's deputy Secretary-General's representative in Kabul, indicated that to his knowledge there were at least 1,500 polling centres in Afghanistan that were closed. They were ghost centres that were not open. These centres produced several hundred thousand votes for President Karzai.
What is the position of the Government of Canada with respect to the conduct of that vote?
