I thank Dr. Berry. We are talking about the military advice and the quality of that military advice was mentioned previously. While I know it has not happened to date, I wish to talk about a hypothetical situation, because such situations are often discussed here. Hypothetically, we could have gone to Iraq. Hypothetically, if we did not have the triple lock and a mission was proposed, but if the military advice was against taking part in it because it was not right for us at that moment and the Minister or the Department chose not to listen to that advice, could the military commanders be vocal about that?
