Mr. Speaker, canada has spoken clearly in this past election. They want canadians and our military continue to engage in the fight against isis and were committed to continuing to do that. However we also made a clear commitment to withdraw the six cf18 fighter jets and engage in a continued way militarily in a humanitarian effort and refugee efforts which were continuing to too. I engage with our allies on these issues and they reassured me we are continuing to be helpful. Thank you. [applause] the recordable leader of the honorable leader of the opposition. Mr. Speaker, lets be clear what isis is. Theyre a death cult. Theyve sell children and women into sexual slavery. They target and kill gays and lesbians and have murdered thousands of muslims, christians, yazidis and other religious minorities, yet the prime says here goes to take our planes out of the fight. Just how bad does it have to be in iraq and syria for us to leave our planes there . [applause] the right honorable Prime Minister. Mr. Speaker, there isnt a canadian in this country who done think that isis are a group of terrible terrorists who should be stopped. The question has always been, how best to engage. How can canada use its strength, the extraordinary strength of the men and women in the Canadian Forces are to support in the fight against isis. Now, ongoing right now, continue to be airstrikes. We have continued we have committed to end those airstrikes and to transform our engagement in a different way, equally militarily, to ensure that canada continues to be a strong member of the Coalition Fighting against isis. [applause] the honorable leader of the opposition. Thank you. Mr. Speaker, last night president obama also said his closest allies have stepped up their airstrikes, and then he went on to name france, and germany, and the u. K. But no mention of canada. Mr. Speaker, that stepping back from the fight against terrorism is not stepping up. Will the Prime Minister admit he is more midsted to ideologies than the fight against isis . [applause] just a couple of weeks ago i are sat down with president obama and discussed and confirmed that canada continues to be a strong supporter of the coalition against isil and continues to be engaged on a humanitarian level on, a refugee level, and indeed on a military level. And right now, we are in discussions with our allies about how best canada can continue to participate and to help in the fight against isil, since we are withdrawing our cf18 aircraft. [applause] translator mr. Speaker, last night, president obama had some harsh words for isil. He says the threat of terrorism is real but we can beat it. We will destroy isil and any other organization that wants to do us harm. Think the Prime Minister assure us he shares president obamas views . The honorable Prime Minister. Translator obviously, mr. Singher, canada and mid and the liberal party and the government of canada will continue resolutely in our desire and conviction to continue to combat isil, together with our international partners. What we wont do is keep talking about and it giving free publicity to isil because they use propaganda to spread. [applause] translator of course, mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is referring has referred to his meeting with obama, very strength that just a few days later, when talking about his trusted allies he talked about france, the u. K. , and germany. We dont want slogans like, canadas back, how is the Prime Minister going to defend canadians against isil . Translator as ive always said, mr. Speaker, canada is determined to combat isil. We will continue to remain committed and involved militarily, but we will withdraw our jet fighters because we have been talking about it for months with canadiens, and canadians trust us to continue to take strong action against ice isil in a way thats appropriate for canada. Thank you. [applause] translator mr. Speaker, id like to begin by congratulating the Prime Minister and be assuring him that the ndt will be an opposition that will seek to help the government fulfill its promises to canadians. But a lot of canadians are disappointed that the Prime Minister brought along in his suitcase to paris the plan and the targets of the previous conservative government around Greenhouse Gasses. Can the Prime Minister commit here, today, in 2016, Greenhouse Gas emissions in canada will go down . Yes or no. The right honorable Prime Minister. Translator thank you, mr. Peeker. Id like to congratulate my colleague on his selection. The fact is, we have we brought a new plan to paris. During the Election Campaign we made commitments to the tunes of tens of billions of dollars in green infrastructure, green and clean energy, we have a whole plan to achieve what the previous government failed to do and that is reduce ghgs. [applause] translator so, no plan to reduce ghcs next year. Theyre also hoping the change of tone will bring about a concrete change of direction. One decided on canadas target will this government make them binding by enshrining them into a Climate Change account able law here at home . Prime minister. One of the thing mist honorable colleague seems to forget from time to time is canada is a federation with ten province that have different approaches and different requirements. We have committed to sit down and engage with the provinces, listen to them and work out not just targets but a plan that ensures canada meets its international and domestic obligations to reduce Climate Emissions and develop a Strong Economy. Applause. The body just said he had a plan. During the campaign the liberal leader said he would, quote, restore robust oversight, but last week the environment administrator says projects initiated under the conservative system will, quote, continue on that path. Can the Prime Minister reveal whether pipelines, for example, now under review, will undergo a thorough assessment that includes Greenhouse Gas impact . Or will they simply continue to use the woefully inadequate assessment system left by the conservatives . Right honorable Prime Minister. Mr. Speaker, the canadians know we need both a strong environment and a Strong Economy and a strong environment at the same time. Whats thigh canadians want environmental assessments they can trust. We launch a public review of projects and modern nice the National Energy board to ensure the composition reflects regional views and has sufficient expertise in environmental science, Community Development and indigenous traditional knowledge. [applause] the honorable member. Translator the Pipeline Projects will continue under the old conservative system. During the Election Campaign the Prime Minister said, with reference to canada post, and i quote, we are committed to restoring doortodoor delivery, unquote. And yet there is nothing in the speech and his minister of Public Services said last week that the service would not be restored. So who is telling the truth . Will the Prime Minister, the right honorable Prime Minister . Thank you, mr. Speaker. Translator the fact is we clearly committed to providing canadaans with the services they expect from canada post. We will work with canada post. We have imposed a moratorium on the installation of Community Mail boxes, and well keep working with the ministers and partners to ensure that canadaans get the services they need.

[applause] one way by increasing taxes and indeed this government already says theyre going to increase taxes, but guess what, its not going to pay for what is happening on the other end of the balance. Theres no revenue neutrality here. So my question for the minister is this. Will now he admit. Now that he is going admit later on supposed he, that indeed this isnt going to work. Will he admit that increased payroll taxesthat increase tax on Retirement Savings and the complex reengineering how children receive support will not work and is also flawed. The memberster.

[applause] translator mr. Speaker, under the liberal tax plan, the Median Income earner gets nothing. But those earning between 90,000 and 200,000 get the maximum tax break.

So i persisted and they explained to me that while some resources are being diverted to the syrian cause, no resources are being diverted for other refugees. So i can say very clearly, other refugees will not be affected by this syrian situation. [applause] the h
