Skill Testing Question on Canada's Afghan Mission
Multiple choice question: What is the future of Canada's military presence in Afghanistan?
1) "The government of Canada (will) notify NATO that Canada will end its presence in Kandahar as of July 2011, and, as of that date, the redeployment of Canadian Forces troops out of Kandahar and their replacement by Afghan forces start as soon as possible, so that it will have been completed by December 2011.” (Motion Adopted by the House of Commons, 13 Mar 08)
2) "Under the House of Commons motion of March 13, 2008, the Canadian military presence in Kandahar is to end in 2011." ("Canada's Engagement in Afghanistan, June 2009" (PDF), fifth quarterly report on Canada's mission in Afghanistan, 15 Sept 09)
3) “By 2011, when this military mission ends, our Canadian soldiers will have served there a decade on the front lines, much longer than during either of the world wars.” (Prime Minister Stephen Harper, quoted by CanWest, 11 Sept 09)
4) “Canada’s position is clear .... The military component of the mission ends in 2011.” (PM spokesperson Dimitri Soudas, quoted by the Associated Press, 14 Sept 09)
5) “As you know, the resolution calls for us to end and stop our military intervention in 2011, and that is exactly what we will be doing .... That decision’s been made known … and we are going to stay the course …. Our government is abiding by the motion passed in parliament in 2008 — that is that our combat forces will leave by 2011.” (Minister of Foreign Affairs Lawrence Cannon, quoted by the Globe & Mail and Agence France-Presse, 6 Aug 09)
6) "Applicants may apply under this program until the end of the Canadian combat mission in Kandahar in 2011." (statement from a news release issued by Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Jason Kenney, on a program to ease immigration processes for some Afghans who helped Canadians in Kandahar, 15 Sept 09)
