Mr. Speaker, I would have done neither. Yes, we would have consulted with our allies, but we do not work on behalf of foreign governments, whether they are in Washington, the capitals of Europe or elsewhere. We work for Canadians.
This regime has killed Canadians. It has launched missiles to kill 55 Canadian citizens and 30 permanent residents. It continues to harass our citizens and sponsors terrorism on our soil. That is why we are taking action to support our interests here in Canada and to support the freedom of the Iranian people.
