Mr. Chair, the Canadian Armed Forces are in a constant state of readiness. They are always monitoring what is happening geopolitically around the world. In this case, following the attack in Iran, the Canadian Armed Forces are doing their job.
There is always the possibility of helping other countries, especially in the Middle East, that may need assistance, for example with desalination plants, thermal power plants or other power plants. There are always ways we can help. Assistance could also be provided by the Communications Security Establishment Canada, which does a lot of intelligence work. It will depend on the needs, and we are listening.
Today, our priorities are first and foremost Canadians and the Canadian Armed Forces. Next, we are trying to see how we can help reduce the intensity of this war. That is what we are hoping for.
