In Canada, the minority conservative government of Stephen Harper is under pressure from all three opposition parties—Liberals, Bloc Québécois and the New Democrats—to withdraw its soldiers by February 2009. Canada provides the main force in Kandahar. On October 16th the government said troops should stay in Afghanistan until 2011, although it was unclear whether they would remain in a combat role or scale back to a training mission. Four days earlier, Mr Harper had appointed a special panel to draw up by February 2008 non-binding recommendations for the mission's future.
