Is there anything about Syria for the House to debate?

Speaking at a news conference this morning, the Prime Minister explained his own thinking on Syria and said that “at the present time the government of Canada has no plans, we have no plans of our own, to have a Canadian military mission.” Mr. Harper’s director of communications tells CTV that “it’s not at all clear that we’ll be asked for anything.”

In response to the Prime Minister’s comments, Thomas Mulcair now demands that Parliament be recalled to consider the matter. Justin Trudeau urged as much on Tuesday.
