Mr. Chair, I thank my colleague for his concern for the situation. He and I share that concern and stand on the same ground.
I have made it very clear. Canada has no intention whatsoever of entering into this prosecution of a war led by Israel and the United States. Canada was not consulted. Canada did not advise. Canada does not have personnel actively engaged in this conflict. That is very clear for this government. We are going to use our best efforts first to have Canadians who are in the region removed. We have made sure that our military personnel are in safe locations, away from harm. The third thing I would say is we are going to make sure that we can work with other like-minded parties to de-escalate this situation, which appears to be actually spiralling out of control.
