Mr. Speaker, our government is committed to working with our international allies to fight against ISIL around the world in order to protect Canadians.
According to the Liberal member for Westmount—Ville-Marie, air strikes against the ISIL death cult are “overkill”.
My constituents do not believe that working to stop a gruesome terrorist organization that beheads people who do not agree with it, threatens to behead the elderly in their beds if they do not convert, and has committed countless crimes against women and children is “overkill”. In fact, our armed forces has confirmed that our air strikes have successfully degraded ISIL's capabilities.
ISIL is a threat to domestic and international security. It has declared war on Canada. It called for brutal attacks against Canadians. Although the Liberals want us to sit and do nothing, we will persist.
