Mr. Speaker, U.S. Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter has asked the coalition members to step up their contribution, and Canada has.

A Pentagon spokesperson said the Canadian announcement is the kind of response the secretary has been looking for, from coalition members.

Coalition commander Lieutenant General Sean MacFarland describes our mission as forward-looking.

A U.S. military spokesperson for the coalition characterizes Canada's contribution as “extraordinarily helpful”.

I would like to ask the member if he actually disagrees with the U.S. Secretary of Defense, the Pentagon, and the coalition commander?
