Madam Chair, I have a couple of very specific questions for the parliamentary secretary, which I hope he can answer.
The NDP, as he knows, has been very clear about our position and about the need for a diplomatic solution, but more than just diplomacy, we need better aid and development. Our development dollars need to ensure that Afghans see real development progress. We need to direct our aid in ways that improve lives and help build the capacity of the Afghan government to provide for its own people effectively and responsibly. We need to build Afghan's trust in their own state, not ours, and that means supporting projects that will actually work, not just those that are visible.
What are the development projects around agriculture currently that Canada is supporting and what is Canada spending on agriculture in this mission?
