No military involvement in Syria just yet, John Baird says

Canada’s foreign affairs minister says he doesn’t see Canadian Forces getting involved in Syria’s civil war right now.

Following Tuesday’s question period, John Baird said he’s “working hard” to get the facts about who’s using banned chemical weapons in Syria’s conflict, since there’s “overwhelming evidence” they’ve been used.

“We are deeply concerned, [U.S.] President Obama has spoken out about that,” Baird said.

"We better bloody well get the facts and make sure we’re right.”
