• The Government of Canada has committed Canadian Forces to an unbalanced counter-insurgent mission in southern Afghanistan that has no clear objectives, criteria for progress, definition of success or exit strategy.
• Jack Layton, leader of the NDP has called for the withdrawal of Canadian Forces from this mission.
• We support the brave men and women of the Canadian Forces.

We, call upon Government of Canada to begin the withdrawal of Canadian Forces from the counter-insurgency mission in southern Afghanistan.
