AGAIN with the "Special Envoy"?

On 11 Feb 09, the Liberals asked in the House of Commons "why doesn't Canada appoint a Special Envoy to Af-Pak?"

Two years before that, the then-Senlis Council suggested the same thing.

The answer: not needed.

Yesterday (19 Oct 09), the Liberals asked again.

Canada has:

• An Ambassador to Afghanistan,
• A High Commissioner to Pakistan,
• A Cabinet committee looking at Afghanistan, and
• A Special Committee on the Canadian Mission in Afghanistan.

Do we need one more warm body to look at the mission and carry messages?

I don't think so.
