Mr. Sajjan, who was a lieutenant-colonel with a British Columbia Regiment and participated in three deployments to Afghanistan, said the Canadian Armed Forces and partners took time to understand the environment and make necessary changes.The impact on the ground has been “quite substantial,” Mr. Sajjan added.
