Mr. Speaker, about this issue of war and a secure environment, there is no question that Canadian soldiers are dying, Afghan soldiers are dying, as are other coalition soldiers. People are dying. It is important to understand that we are trying to make it a secure environment.
The House passed a motion stating its principles as to what is to be achieved. The Parliament of Canada set its priorities through that motion.
The member and I sit on committee and we measure on a quarterly basis the progress made.
That is the real success in Afghanistan.
