Mr. Speaker, last year the Liberals criticized the previous government and its rather loose definition of a combat mission.
At the time, the Prime Minister's current adviser on foreign affairs said that the mission in Iraq was a combat mission. He called on the Conservatives to be more honest with Canadians. Now we have a new Prime Minister and the mission has been expanded, but we still do not have a clear answer.
Will the minister stop denying the facts and admit that our soldiers are engaged in a combat mission?
