******************
Mr. Speaker, we stand proud that Canada is joining our allies in the fight against ISIS. Due to the competence of our Canadian Forces we are punching above our weight alongside our allies in this important mission.
Recently, Col. Sean Boyle of 22 Wing CFB North Bay has been elevated to Canada’s Air Task Commander - Operation IMPACT in the Middle East.
Our former Wing Commander has an exceptional record of service that will ensure that Canada continues to perform above expectations.
Operation IMPACT aims to halt and degrade ISIL’s presence in Iraq and Syria. To date IMPACT has degraded ISIL’s control by 25%.
Commander Sean Boyle, your community and your country are behind solidly behind you!
Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues in this House to join me in recognizing the leadership of Commander Boyle and the many Canadians in uniform who continue to serve and protect our great nation.
