"We will be announcing our full commitment to the Middle East with Prime Minister Trudeau, the minister of foreign affairs and the minister of national defence in a couple of days," Marie-Claude Bibeau told reporters on a conference call from London.
Bibeau is among 70 delegates in the British capitol for a one-day conference that's seen about $10 billion committed over several years. The Quebec MP did not announce any new funding for Syria at the meeting, insisting her government would announce additional aid with other measures in a "holistic approach," that would include military, diplomatic and humanitarian contributions to defeat ISIS and help Syrians fleeing violence in the region.
