Canada wanted to bring NATO in specifically because of the rotation issue. They are supposed to rotate out. Troops do their tours of duty under NATO within that mission and after a certain period of time get rotated out.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"959538\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is unfortunate that all NATO members are not bearing the same burden as we are. We are into the hottest part of Afghanistan and the casualty rate for the number of soldiers involved is high. I look forward to the rotation out.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"959539\" data-originallang=\"en\">Getting back to the point of failed states, that is the biggest strength we have on this planet right now. It very clear that we have to do it under the auspices of the United Nations, but if we can get the NATO alliance in there, as we have in this case because we had the capacity to respond, that is a good thing.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"959540\" data-originallang=\"en\">We also have to ensure the UN has the capacity to keep dealing with the failed states. There are a number of failed states in Africa and it is very conducive and helpful to have people from the continent partaking in the UN missions.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"959537\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je conviens avec le <a data-HoCid=\"78947\" href=\"/politicians/deepak-obhrai/\" title=\"Deepak Obhrai\">secr\u00e9taire parlementaire</a> que c'est une mission de l'OTAN et que le Canada est sous l'\u00e9gide des Nations Unies. Si le Canada a fait appel \u00e0 l'OTAN, c'est justement en raison de la question de la rotation. Il est cens\u00e9 y avoir une rotation des troupes. Les troupes servant leurs p\u00e9riodes d'affectation sous l'\u00e9gide de l'OTAN sont remplac\u00e9es au bout d'un certain temps.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"959538\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il est malheureux que tous les pays membres de l'OTAN ne portent pas le m\u00eame fardeau que nous. Nous sommes dans la partie la plus dangereuse de l'Afghanistan et le taux de pertes est \u00e9lev\u00e9. J'attends avec impatience la rotation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"959539\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pour revenir \u00e0 la question des \u00c9tats faillis, voici notre plus grande force en ce moment. Il est tr\u00e8s clair que nous devons intervenir sous les auspices des Nations Unies, mais si nous pouvons faire appel \u00e0 l'alliance de l'OTAN, comme nous l'avons fait dans le cas pr\u00e9sent parce que nous avions la capacit\u00e9 de r\u00e9agir, c'est une bonne chose.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"959540\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous devons \u00e9galement faire en sorte que l'ONU puisse continuer d'agir face aux \u00c9tats faillis. Il existe un certain nombre d'\u00c9tats faillis en Afrique et il est tr\u00e8s fructueux et utile que des gens de ce continent participent aux missions de l'ONU.</p>"
