Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Deputy Prime Minister.
Kurds in northern Iraq have been under attack for several days by the Turkish air force, supported by 35,000 troops. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees expressed serious concern over the fate of Kurdish civilian refugees. While
Washington and Moscow chose to turn a blind eye to the Turkish incursion, the European Union sternly denounced it.
Could the Deputy Prime Minister tell us what the Canadian government's position is regarding the totally unacceptable and reprehensible actions by this NATO military ally of Canada?
