“We are still committed to ending airstrikes and readjusting our mission so that we can have a meaningful contribution. I am aware that our CF-18s played a significant role, and they just happened to be on station at that time. But the plan remains the same.” he said.
The withdrawal was championed by new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who wants to bring all 6 fighter jets home and leave only special operations forces on a mission to train Iraqi troops.
This insane proposal in light of the disarray in the Middle East and the growing strength of ISIS has no timetable but the Canadians want to assure everyone that it is still happening.

Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan says the Liberal government’s plan to end withdraw Canadian fighter jets from the U.S.-led coalition fighting Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq “remains the same,” after CF-18s provided air support when Canadian Special Operations Forces on the ground came under fire.
“We are still committed to ending airstrikes and readjusting our mission so that we can have a meaningful contribution,” Sajjan told reporters in London, England, on Friday.
“I am aware that our CF-18s played a significant role, and they just happened to be on station at that time. But the plan remains the same.”
