Conservatives Call on Government to Send Weapons To Ukraine
Speaking with reporters on Parliament Hill, Conservative critics James Bezan (National Defence), Erin O’Toole (Foreign Affairs) and Gerard Deltell (Treasury Board) call on the Liberal government to send to Ukraine $10 million in weapons originally intended to help Kurdish forces fight against Islamic militants in Iraq. They are also calling for the appointment of a special envoy to the Kurdistan Regional Government. The federal government announced last year it would be giving weapons to the Kurds as part of Canada’s commitment to fight the Islamic State of Iraq. The weapons have been sitting in storage in Montreal. (May 28, 2018) (No interpretation)
