Foreign Affairs Mr. Speaker, I will ask the question again and maybe we will get an answer. For days now we have been asking the Minister of National Defence what his plan is to deal with the Islamic State. He said that the Minister of Foreign Affairs was dealing with it while he was in Rome.

Foreign Affairs Mr. Speaker, the Minister of National Defence has been causing confusion for weeks now. We still do not know how we are going to combat terrorism. We are not looking for reasons. It is time to find solutions. The minister is confused when he talks about the reasons for the rise

National Defence Mr. Speaker, the number of terrorist attacks is growing. We have been waiting for weeks to hear the government's plan, but there has been nothing but silence. Yesterday, reporters asked the Minister of National Defence about Canada's plans, but he referred them to his colleague

National Defence Mr. Speaker, the minister indicated in the Department of National Defence's performance report that he is going to participate in coalition operations abroad. Can the minister tell us how he is going to help our allies and fight terrorists by withdrawing our combat forces from S

National Defence Mr. Speaker, over the weekend, 45 people were killed and 110 more were injured in an attack in Damascus for which ISIS claimed responsibility, but the Minister of National Defence says that his plan is not ready. Seriously? If the Liberals cannot come up with a plan, why should

National Defence Mr. Speaker, I just got back from a NATO Parliamentary Assembly meeting in Washington. Contrary to what the government says, members of Congress and the U.S. State Department are very disappointed that Canadian fighter planes have been withdrawn from Iraq and Syria. Why is the g

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, I completely agree with my colleague's comments and I am truly disappointed in the two arguments we heard this morning. The first was that there are excessive costs and that we should bring back the pilots because it is dangerous. I want to restate what my colleagu

Foreign Affairs Mr. Speaker, ISIS has engaged in deadly attacks across the entire world, and it still has Canada in its sights. The government must protect Canadians and fulfill its commitments to our allies. Withdrawing our CF-18s from Iraq and Syria sends the message that Canada does not take

Foreign Affairs Mr. Speaker, while the international coalition is stepping up air strikes against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, the Prime Minister insists on withdrawing our CF-18s, despite calls from the international coalition. When will the Prime Minister finally step up and agree to defend Canada

Business of Supply Mr. Speaker, there were two parts to the speech by my hon. colleague on the government side. In the first part of his speech, he said that we were training Iraqi police to enable them to occupy a stabilized area. However, we are not yet there. The minister is talking as though

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, today we learned straight from the mouth of our Liberal colleague that this is in fact a financial decision that the Liberals are making. The purpose of withdrawing the CF-18s is to save money. That is news to us. We are making cuts to our forces and ceasing air st

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, to explain why this will work, we could ask President Obama, President Hollande, and the Prime Minister of Great Britain. Countries decided to form an international coalition. Over 25 countries are involved in the same kind of combat. Top generals, military strateg

Business of Supply Mr. Chair, I understand the minister's answer. However, every military base in Canada was instructed to prepare, yet they were not given any money to do so. The Valcartier base publicly announced that it had taken $2.7 million from its own budget. What about the other bases, suc

Business of Supply Mr. Chair, we understand that none of our troops will be displaced. That is perfect. If I understand correctly, cadet camps will be used on all of the bases. Is that correct?
