Mr. Speaker, in 2018, Canadian soldiers reported to commanders that they had seen videos of horrible atrocities being committed on the phones of the very Iraqi soldiers they were training, but our troops were ordered to look the other way and keep training these alleged war criminals.
Now, we know that a secret memo was given to the former chief of defence staff in 2020, which clearly demonstrates that top defence officials in National Defence knew there were serious problems with the security screening of Iraqi recruits.
Why did these Liberals extend Operation Impact not once but twice after learning we were training war criminals in Iraq?
