Mr. Speaker, a lot of confusion and contradictions surround this mission.
I heard the hon. member for Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke say that the role of the Canadian military personnel on the ground will be to evaluate aid needs. At the same time, we were told earlier that the personnel was there to advise. Well, a lot of organizations who are already there on the ground know what is needed in terms of aid. I am therefore a little confused.
Will evaluating aid needs really be part of the role of the Canadian military personnel?
