Mr. Speaker, I wonder if the hon. member could comment on the fact that renowned experts in the Middle East have said that the campaign again ISIS in Syria helps the Assad regime and also helps al-Nusra, which is a branch of al Qaeda that is emerging as well and wants to form its own network to support al Qaeda in the region.
Is it any wonder that so many Canadians are worried about where this expansion and move into Syria will lead? Even the minister said that even if we are successful in defeating ISIL in Syria, he does not have a crystal ball to know what the consequence and the result will be. Is it really any wonder that people feel that this is a mistake and that it will lead we do not know where?
