Mr. Speaker, the government is being open and transparent about this mission. However, it would never do anything to put our troops in danger.
Daesh has proven in the past that its fighters care not only about what is done, but also about what is said. We will therefore continue to communicate what can be communicated, and we intend to keep confidential what needs to be confidential.
I repeat, we will continue to act openly, while taking into account any risks that we could be inadvertently exposing our troops to.
We will continue to inform Canadians of the progress made in the fight against Daesh. I would like to reiterate once again just how proud we are of the progress made to date and of the role played by our soldiers in the global fight to defeat Daesh.
Our military personnel continue to provide extraordinary support to the coalition and the Iraqi government to help dismantle and ultimately wipe out Daesh. We are extremely grateful to our troops.
