As Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced plans in Parliament to send CF-18 fighter jets, Canada is dignified to go to combat in Iraq. The mission will also send reconnaissance aircraft and refueling tanks as part of its operation on joining allies launching airstrikes to battle ISIS.
According to a government motion outlined Friday in the House of Commons, Canada will join its allies in piloting airstrikes against ISIS insurgents for up to six months but will not deploy field troops in combat operations.
During Prime Minister Stephen Harper's occasional speech to the House of Commons on Friday, he spoke to MPs to sketch his government's plan for Canada's support to the fight against ISIS. For now, the airstrikes are restricted to Iraq but could be extended to Syria if the government there gives a go signal.
According to the motion, the government will subsidize military chattels against ISIS including airstrikes competency for a period up to six months. At present, Canada will only launch airstrikes against ISIS in nations where it has regime support.
PM Stephen Harper stated that Canada's mission will also contribute one air-to-air refilling aircraft, two Aurora reconnaissance aircraft and the necessary aircrews and support staffs. The government will also extend the original 30-day non-warfare consultative mission, in which up to 69 distinctive missions soldiers are directing security forces in Northern Iraq.
However, PM Harper admitted that it is likely unbearable to eradicate ISIS. The threats it presents will be considerably reduced. On late Thursday, the prime minister's director of communications Jason MacDonald said that both a dispute in the House and an election on the motion will take place Monday.
Meanwhile, both opposition House leaders stood to contradict the extended operation. NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair said that Canada should be engaging philanthropic, diplomatic and other assistance to reinforce and fortify political infrastructures in Iraq and Syria in order to fight the rising perils of ISIS terrorism.
The Friday-scheduled motion probed the House to recognize that ISIS control has instigated members to aim Canada and Canadians at home and overseas. And the terror group will continue to pose a danger to global peace and security if not antagonized with resilient and unswerving strength.
As per stated in the motion, Canada will support civilians in the region through vital humanitarian aid but it did not include minutiae. In his speech, Harper emphasized that the military procedures do not impede altruistic assistance.
On the other hand, NDP foreign affairs detractor Paul Dewar said that innocent citizens need exigent support, and queried what the federal government is doing to help. International Development Minister Christian Paradis retorted by saying Canada is the seventh-largest donor of humanitarian help to the region. Canada's current contributions have allowed for the delivery of food, tents, blankets, medical supplies, hygiene kits and other supplies.
As the US-led coalition continues to orchestrate airstrikes against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, Canada has declared its desires to join and support its allies on the global counter-terrorism operations.
