Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his speech. I would also like to commend him for his past contribution to the armed forces. However, I am a bit surprised.
The Bloc Québécois has always been an advocate of peace, international aid, and solidarity with and respect for international institutions, such as NATO and the United Nations. We are dealing with a military venture that does not fall under any international framework. This is a break from tradition for the Bloc Québécois, which has always advocated for peace and outright rejected any military ventures, particularly when there is no oversight and no objective.
First, I would like my colleague to explain the reason for his party's change in position.
Second, I would like him to explain to me why he is mixing military action with humanitarian aid when everyone knows these two things should be kept separate. These two objectives, or two movements, should not be combined.
