Mr. Speaker, I would like to read a quote by General Vance, our Chief of the Defence Staff. He said:
We are a lawful party to an armed conflict against a non-state actor—that’s the legal terminology…
The so-called Islamic State wants to be recognized as a state, but it is not and never will be a state. That is why we are engaged in an armed conflict, and we are going to win the fight against this terrorist group.
