The <a data-HoCid=\"78774\" href=\"/politicians/josee-verner/\" title=\"Jos\u00e9e Verner\">Minister of International Cooperation</a> assured the House that the money for reconstruction was there for Kandahar. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"201646\" data-originallang=\"en\">Yesterday we learned that, while our soldiers pay with their lives, the government will not deliver the aid necessary for their success. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"201647\" data-originallang=\"en\">When will the government live up to its promises to Parliament, to our valiant troops, to Canadians and the struggling people of Afghanistan and deliver the reconstruction aid necessary for the success of our mission in Kandahar?</p>",
