Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister just gave two examples of combat missions. Which is it? Is it a combat missions, yes or no?
The Prime Minister is leaving questions about his new mission in Iraq unanswered. There will be no air strikes, but there will be a refuelling aircraft on site to support air strikes. Our ground troops will identify targets for air strikes. The Prime Minister is tripling the number of people involved in this combat mission, and his Chief of the Defence Staff has admitted that it will be more dangerous.
Why is the Prime Minister beefing up the military mission even though he promised Canadians that he would shrink it?
