My colleague James Cudmore spoke to the Chief of Defence Staff, General Walt Natynczyk, on Tuesday. And the CDS told him then that every member of the Canadian Forces would be pulling out of Kandahar in 2011, in accordance with Parliament's wishes.
Today the same matter was put to Defence Minister Peter MacKay by another CBC colleague, James Murray, in Kandahar. Here's the unedited video of MacKay's response, and the rest of his answers to reporters' questions about Canada's future in Afghanistan.
Our CBC News copy is here.
James Cudmore measured the space between MacKay and Natynczyk and filed an update for tonight's World at Six on CBC Radio One.
