Madam Speaker, I have been asking government members if they are willing to use the word “genocide” to describe the actions of the Daesh in Syria and Iraq. This is the word that has been used by Hillary Clinton. It is the word that has been used by the European Parliament in a resolution that it passed. It is important that when we have genocide going on we are willing to call it a genocide because that affects how we need to respond.
I wonder if the hon. member can comment on that. Does he consider what is happening in Syria and Iraq a genocide, and does that oblige us to understand that we have a responsibility to protect those who are victims?
