Mr. Speaker, if I may, I will quote the leader of the Liberal Party from two days ago, when he stated:
This government is proposing that Canadian Forces participate in a vague combat mission with no clear end point, and we cannot support that.
One thing is clear: Canada has a role to play in the campaign against ISIL. That role must serve our national interests. The one being proposed today by the Prime Minister does not meet that test.
Can the member explain why this motion does not limit the government's action to just Iraq and Syria?
