Mr. Speaker, Canada had no advance notice of these strikes and we were not consulted. We have no plans to become involved in offensive actions taken by the United States and Israel.
Canada supports preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and preventing its regime from further threatening international peace and security. We have been clear for years that Iran's nuclear proliferation is unacceptable and contrary to international law. We will stand by our allies when it makes sense to do so and we will always defend Canadians when we are called upon. This position has not changed.
Canada was not consulted, did not participate and has no plans to participate in the offensive actions taken by the U.S. and Israel. We have been clear on this point.
I respect my hon. colleague's question on the matter.
