Canada must be involved in Iraq, but not necessarily in a combat role: Trudeau

Ottawa, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau agrees that Canada must play a role in the struggle against militants in Iraq, but says that doesn’t necessarily mean combat.
Trudeau says Prime Minister Stephen Harper seems intent on sending Canadians to war, but has yet to explain why.
He’s telling the Canada2020 conference that ISIL does pose a threat to regional and global security.
The question, he says, is what Canada should do about it.
Trudeau suggests there are options other than sending in CF-18 fighter-bombers to conduct airstrikes alongside allies.
He says Canada should be looking at offering strategic airlift, training, medical support or humanitarian efforts.
