TORONTO: Canada's prime minister says the country's six fighter jets will end their airstrikes against ISIS terrorists in Iraq and Syria within the next two weeks.
Justin Trudeau said today that Canadian bombs will stop falling by February 22, but military personnel in the region will increase to 830 from the current 650 and provide planning, targeting and intelligence expertise.
Canada's contribution to the mission against ISIS is being extended until the end of March 2017.
Trudeau says the government will be spending more than US$1.15 billion (CA$1.6 billion) over the next three years on the mission as a whole, including on security, stabilization, humanitarian and development assistance in the region.
