A detachment of up to four Griffon helicopters has been added and is supporting the transportation of personnel and equipment. The Canadian Armed Forces continue to conduct air operations using Polaris aerial refuellers and Aurora reconnaissance aircraft.

This operation is our military contribution to the international coalition that is fighting Daesh in Iraq and Syria. On that note, I will start with the largest of the items, and that is the additional funding needed for Operation Impact.
