Mr. Speaker, the fact is that this government and the party we represent has always understood that ISIS represents a threat to innocence in the region and to stability and security around the world. That is why Canada has an important role to play.
After we got elected, we spent three months consulting with our allies, talking about the best possible way Canada could help in stabilizing the region, about being there robustly and for the long haul. The comprehensive and strong plan we put forward last week, which highlights the role that Canada can play, is exactly what Canadians expect us to do.
