Staying with Syria for the moment, we're given to understand that the Minister of Foreign Affairs is about to make an announcement. I'm assuming that the Canadian Forces would be involved in that announcement. The announcement may well be, as a minimum, the evacuation of Canadians.
That is a bit of a risky undertaking in and of itself, and may well engender some resistance on the part of the Syrians. Effectively, the question here is, how ready are we to intervene to secure the safety of Canadians in Syria? The secondary question really is, are we prepared to be involved in any securitization of territory or whatever, in conjunction with the forces of resistance to the Assad government?
