Thank you very much.

Thank you, witnesses, for being here today. My first question is for Mr. Ozsoy.

Canada claims to fight terrorism, yet we are engaging with a government that emerged from an Islamist armed movement while sidelining the very forces that helped defeat ISIS. How is that justifiable to Canadians?
