Mr. Speaker, as I said yesterday, the government's position on that over the past eight years has been very consistent.
However, I would point out that when the Leader of the Opposition makes the comparison between what the United States is doing today and what the United States did in 2003, there is no comparison.
President Obama was very opposed to the 2003 war. Obviously today he is launching a counterterrorism operation, not simply because millions of people in that region are in danger, but because there are very real threats that present themselves to all countries, including both the United States and Canada.
We are very fortunate that we have men and women in uniform who are prepared to undertake these missions to protect us.
