Francine Lalonde at the Foreign Affairs and International Development Committee

I will share my time with Ms. Barbot.

I would like to thank both the witnesses for their presentations, which complete each other.

I would like to speak of Mr. Hassan-Yari's presentation. He said that the strength of the Taliban lay in the weakness and the mistakes of those we refer to as allies. You gave us a fairly long list of what these mistakes were.

Of all the elements on this list, can you tell us what Canada's priority should be?
