Minister, with all due respect, that didn't answer my question. We certainly did a great deal as a government, and we certainly did not bring ISIS terrorists back into Canada and claim to reintegrate them and use them as a great voice on behalf of young Canadians.
I've had an opportunity to visit refugee camps in northern Iraq and Jordan, which is a part of the world where many of these ISIS terrorists are active, and I've talked with women and girls who have actually faced incredible atrocities at the hands of these men. Many women and girls who were victims of the brutal atrocities that were committed against them now call Canada home. We've welcomed them and provided a place of safety, or at least that would be my intent if I were in government. I'm deeply concerned about how these survivors are coping with the fact that the same country they now call home is serving as a place of refuge for the men who actually brutalized them.
In your opening remarks, you said it was important “to extend the reach of GBA”. Minister, my question for you is very simple. Was GBA+ applied to the decision to welcome ISIS fighters back into Canada and to use them as a voice to influence young Canadians from coast to coast? If the analysis was, in fact, done, then my question for you, on behalf of all Canadians, and in particular on behalf of these women and girls who have been brutalized by these men—
Sorry, are you smirking at that, at the fact that I'm speaking out on behalf of these women and girls?
No? Okay, my question is: did the analysis account for the trauma and fear that this decision caused the women and girls who have fled from Syria, Iraq, Jordan, and other countries across the Middle East where these ISIS fighters were active?
