Canada will extend its training mission within the international alliance against the ISIS organization in Iraq and Syria by three months.
Canadian Defense Minister Harjit Sajjan announced that the Canadian Forces will continue operations until June 30, providing "the time required to assess the evolving nature of the fight".
Canada is part of a coalition working with Iraqi troops to recapture territory taken over by the ISIS group, restore basic government services and enable citizens who fled to return to their homes.
A news release said the scope and mission of Canada's contribution, often characterized as an "advise and assist" operation, will remain the same this spring, "with a few adjustments". "Canadian troops remain behind the forward line of troops, and are providing advice and assistance to Iraqi Forces," the government said.
