Mr. Speaker, as my hon. colleague will have heard, if he were listening to my remarks, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs have, on numerous occasions, condemned Hamas for its incitement of hatred, terrorism, and violence against the state of Israel, and we have reaffirmed those principles today.
I would share the sentiment with my hon. colleague that we deplore the loss of any innocent life. It is precisely why we are supporting this motion and why Canada stands resolutely on the international stage with Israel and all of our partners to engender a just and lasting peace in the region.
