| No. 17 — March 24, 2015 — The Minister of Foreign Affairs — That, whereas: |
| (i) the terrorist group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has repeatedly called on its members to target Canada and Canadians at home and abroad; |
| (ii) ISIL poses a clear and active threat to the people of the Middle East, including members of vulnerable religious and ethnic minority groups who have been subjected to a brutal and barbaric campaign of sexual violence, murder, and intimidation by ISIL; |
| (iii) unless confronted with strong and direct force, the threat that ISIL poses to Canada and to international peace and security, will grow; |
| (iv) Canada desires, consistent with Canadian values and interests, to protect the vulnerable and innocent civilians of the region, including through urgent humanitarian assistance; |
| (v) the Government of Iraq has requested military support against ISIL from members of the international community, including from the Government of Canada; |
| (vi) Canada is part of a broad international coalition of allies and partners, including numerous countries of the Middle East, committed to the fight against ISIL; |
| (vii) the United Nations Security Council remains seized of the threat posed by international terrorism with the unanimous passage of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2178; |
| (viii) the deployment of Royal Canadian Air Force assets has played an important role in degrading, destabilising, and weakening ISIL's position and operations in the region; |
| (ix) the advise and assist mission of the Canadian Special Operations Forces in Northern Iraq has increased the capabilities of Kurdish-Iraqi Security Forces to combat ISIL; and |
| (x) continuing to degrade ISIL will require striking its operations and infrastructure where they are located, including in Syria; |
| Accordingly, this House: |
