Conservatives call for inquiry into ‘appalling' government spending on Canadian ISIS women
The Conservatives are calling for an inquiry into the government's 'appalling' expenditures on Canadian ISIS women returning home from Syria. A letter signed by Tory MPs on Friday asked the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security to convene immediately to deal with the matter. The move came after Global News reported that declassified documents showed Ottawa spent at least $170,000 on the women and their children. The money paid for costs incurred when eight women who had travelled to Syria to join the Islamic State returned to Canada with their kids in 2022 and 2023. Expense reports released under the Access to Information Act showed business class flights, stays at a Marriott hotel, room service, junk food and alcohol. Among the expenses, which were for both the families and government staff, was a $95 wine tab, $24 sandwiches and purchases of chips, chocolate bars and Timbits, as well as a $2,800 catering fee for a banquet. Story continues below advertisement 'The fact that these items were purchased for those detained as alleged terrorists is appalling in itself,' the MPs wrote in a letter addressed to committee chair Jean-Yves Duclos.

View image in full screen Expense reports released under Access to Information Act on costs of repatriating Canadian ISIS women and their kids. Global News The letter, obtained by Global News, said the opposition was 'calling for the committee to be immediately recalled to launch a full inquiry into this matter.' Under parliamentary rules, if four members of a committee, representing at least two political parties, request a meeting, the clerk must do so within five days. The Bloc representatives of the committee would have to sign on before it would prompt a meeting. Story continues below advertisement Global News requested details on the costs of the repatriations under the Access to Information Act two years ago. The department did not release any materials until Aug. 7, 2025. Even then, they do not cover the full costs associated with the repatriation. Global Affairs Canada said it was still consulting with a foreign government about releasing those. The women were living in B.C., Alberta, Ontario and Quebec when they travelled to Syria and Iraq to live under ISIS rule. All were eventually captured when ISIS fell to U.S.-backed Kurdish fighters and an international coalition that included the Canadian Forces. The federal government agreed to bring the women and children back to Canada after their families launched a case in the Federal Court demanding their return. In a statement to Global News, Global Affairs declined to answer questions about its expenses or disclose the full costs associated with repatriating the Canadians. 'While we cannot comment on specific expenditures related to the operation, Global Affairs Canada assumed certain immediate costs to support the safe return and well-being of the women and children repatriated to Canada,' it said.

China files WTO complaint over ‘discriminatory' Canadian steel tariffs
China is taking its dispute with Canada over steel tariffs to the World Trade Organization. Beijing filed a complaint earlier today with the WTO in response to Canadian restrictions on imports that contain steel melted or poured in China. Prime Minister Mark Carney announced last month that he was imposing the 25 per cent surtax on products containing Chinese steel to protect the domestic industry in the face of steep U.S. tariffs. 0:27 China's tariff on Canadian canola takes effect as farmers urge action But China says the duties are 'discriminatory,' according to a translation of a statement issued by the Chinese commerce ministry. Story continues below advertisement China says it is disappointed by the move to impose tariffs and urges Canada 'to correct its erroneous actions.' Canada's trade dispute with China is ramping up this week after Beijing imposed a tariff of nearly 76 per cent on Canadian canola seed — an apparent response to Canada's ongoing tariffs of 100 per cent on Chinese-made electric vehicles.
