Harper: No extension without evolution

Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper, in an interview with a Calgary radio show:

"I think Canadians are expecting that if we're in Afghanistan after 2009, it would be a new mission...Canadians have been fairly clear that if we were to be in after 2009, that they would expect our participation to evolve in some way."...

"The truth of the matter is NATO still is not putting in near the amount of forces that are necessary to really bring permanent stability to Afghanistan. Canadians have been clear they want to see a more equitable burden-sharing in Afghanistan."
