Mr. Speaker, once more I rise to debate Canada's engagement in the Middle East. This will probably be my fifth or sixth intervention in the House.
Let me just go back to one point. The Minister of International Development and La Francophonie stated in The Huffington Post, and she stated very clearly, “Obviously, we will not get involved in any way in this once we have given money to an organization”. She was talking about humanitarian assistance given to organizations which begs the question, “Would the jihadists be able to access this?”.
Let me quote what the Minister of Foreign Affairs said this afternoon, when he answered a question from my colleague. He stated very clearly that we control, from start to finish, all aspects, and we ensure that help is given, clearly, and we will in all cases.
So, who is talking which way, the Minister of Foreign Affairs or the Minister of International Development and La Francophonie, who said we do not control anything?
