Mr. Speaker, last weekend I had the privilege to participate in a very special event that was hosted by the Kurdish Association of Manitoba. I had the opportunity to have a number of discussions with people of Kurdish heritage. The Kurdish community in Iraq can have a very significant impact. These are the people who are fighting ISIL on the ground. One of their greatest needs is for expertise and support from Canada in different forms.
Would the member acknowledge that one of the ways we can fight ISIL is to support organizations or people such as the Kurds in Iraq who are doing the hand-to-hand fighting today against ISIL?
