Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay paid a surprise visit to the troops in Afghanistan on Tuesday.

MacKay landed at Kandahar for a two-day visit to show support for the troops and reassure Afghan leaders that Canada's commitment won't waver.

"We've had a debate in the Parliament of Canada — the commitment is to finish the job," he told reporters. "The commitment is not defined in terms of years, it's defined in terms of its success and we feel that progress is being made and we're here…to see that the work is going to be completed."

Recent polls have suggested support among the Canadian public for the Afghan mission has fallen below 50 per cent.
