Mr. Speaker, Liberal recklessness on terrorism does not stop with Hezbollah.
Today the Canadian foreign affairs department quite rightly advised Canadians not to travel to the Philippines until further notice and the Canadian embassy in Manila has been closed down in light of threats by Islamic terrorists. The major Philippine terrorist group, Abu Sayyaf, with links to al-Qaeda, can legally operate and raise money in Canada, though it has been banned in the United States for five years.
We are convinced of the danger of these groups in other countries, but the Liberals entertain them here in Canada. Why?
