Mr. Speaker, in fairness, we need to recognize that the New Democrats have done a bit of flip-flopping on this particular issue.
All we have to do is read the amendment that was brought forward. That amendment says:
....call on the Government to contribute to the fight against ISIL, including military support for the transportation of weapons for a period of up to three months.
It sounds as if the New Democratic Party is starting to come on side with what the Liberal Party has actually been saying.
If the member would just reach over and talk to his colleague from Toronto—Danforth, and read the comments in Hansard, he will find that there are some ideas that his own colleague has actually suggested.
There are opportunities. I would like to think that the New Democrats will continue to follow the lead of the Liberal Party, as they have done in the amendment, and will recognize it is important that Canada does play a role.
The New Democrats have always approached that in a very cautious fashion, and I cannot blame them for being cautious, but there is a point in time when Canadian Forces personnel can be used, even in non-combat roles.
