Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development for his passion on this matter and for his clear illustration of some of the atrocities that are being committed by ISIL, as well as clearly making the argument of how ISIL has inspired terrorist attacks here.
Could my colleague and friend talk a bit more about how dangerous it would be if we allowed ISIL to entrench and fortify itself in a caliphate in eastern Syria, headquartered in the city of Raqqa?
