Mr. Speaker, the biggest threat to stability in the region is ISIL right now. I know that the member opposite thinks there are potentially other threats. Currently the international coalition of about 60 countries is focused on degrading and ultimately defeating ISIL. That is the biggest threat to stability. It is the biggest threat to pluralism. It is the biggest threat to democracy and human rights. That is the battle we are fighting right now.
Kuwait has had some experience with this in the past. The foreign minister of Kuwait talked recently about the effect of the military action in degrading ISIL. He really thinks that it is critical. Without that sustained military effort against ISIL, they cannot move forward in that whole region. It is absolutely essential, and that is the main focus of all of our efforts right now.
We recognize at the same time that while we are having this military campaign, the humanitarian assistance Canada has been providing has been well more than our share. We are the fifth-largest contributor of humanitarian assistance in Iraq and the sixth-largest in Syria. Only large countries like Saudi Arabia and the United States are providing more. Canada is doing everything it can to fight this menace.
