GATINEAU, Que. - Prime Minister Stephen Harper is making it crystal clear Canada's military mission in Afghanistan is done next year, even as G8 foreign ministers affirm the need to stay the course in Afghanistan.

The G8 ministers concluded their meeting in Gatineau, Que., today with a wide-ranging declaration on the precarious state of global security.

That included the need to prevent terrorism from spreading across the world from Afghanistan.

But Harper told U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that Canada has no intention of extending its Afghan military mission beyond its 2011 withdrawal deadline.

The issue was forced into the spotlight because Clinton told a Canadian TV audience on the eve of the meeting that the U.S. would like Canadian troops to extend their stay in the war-torn country.

Clinton also said child- and maternal-health programs can only be properly delivered if women in poor countries have access to family planning -- including, but not necessarily, abortion.
