I would also like to say that I was a little surprised, but I applaud her very strong support for the United Nations, at least in this context.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4559091\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> In March 2015, the prime minister at the time, Mr. Harper, argued that Canada did not need to concern itself with international law to justify air strikes in Syria and Iraq because ISIS did not have lawyers.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4559092\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Does the member agree that, instead of joking about international law, which is our best guarantee of security, we have to work with the UN, respect international law, and bring this issue to the Security Council?</p>",

J'aimerais aussi dire que j'ai \u00e9t\u00e9 un peu surprise, mais que j'applaudis son soutien tr\u00e8s fort pour les Nations unies, dans ce contexte-ci tout au moins.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4559091\" data-originallang=\"fr\">En mars 2015, le premier ministre d'alors, M. Harper, a soutenu que le Canada n'avait pas besoin d'invoquer le droit international pour justifier les frappes a\u00e9riennes en Syrie et en Irak, parce que le groupe \u00c9tat islamique n'avait pas d'avocat.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4559092\" data-originallang=\"fr\">La d\u00e9put\u00e9e convient-elle avec moi que, plut\u00f4t que de plaisanter au sujet du droit international, qui est notre meilleure garantie de s\u00e9curit\u00e9, il est important de travailler dans le cadre de l'ONU, de respecter le droit international et de saisir le Conseil de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 de la question?</p>"
