Mr. Speaker, I want to come back to the fact that the government has misled this place on the question of ISIS's genocide.
The government denies the recognition of the genocide by the United States, even though Secretary Kerry said, “Daesh is responsible for genocide...[and] is genocidal by self-proclamation”.
The government also says that it needs an international tribunal of lawyers to declare a genocide, yet the House recognized the Armenian genocide as such in 2004, without an international judicial process. True, the Liberal government voted against that recognition.
Are the Liberals now saying that the Armenian genocide did not happen, because it has not been recognized by an international tribunal?
