"Unlike the previous Conservative government, Sajjan refused Thursday to say how many firefights Canadian Forces have been involved in. Instead, he repeated past assertions that the mission is a non-combat one."
That should have been an easy one to answer...none, because you can't be in a firefight and not be in combat...you can it appears, shoot, bomb, target from the ground, and all around seriously kick the butt of the enemy, while still not being in combat..but it's kind of hard to actually be in a firefight, where you're shooting, they're shooting back, everyone is shooting, lots of ducking is going on etc...and not be in combat...I would say the very definition of combat is a firefight...and we're not in combat, so we can't have been in any firefights..Minister Sajjan needs to take the beach ball questions when they get lobbed at him, you never know when you might have to hold back on the hard ones.
