On November 13 , 2015 , Trudeau was asked whether his plans to change Canada 's contribution to the fight against ISIS and to repeal parts of Bill C-51 would change following the terrorist attacks in Paris . Trudeau responded , " It 's too soon to jump to conclusions , but obviously governments have a responsibility to keep their citizens safe , while defending our rights and freedoms , and that balance is something the Canadian government , and indeed all governments around the world , will be focusing on . " On June 14 , 2016 , Trudeau refused to recognize ISIS 's atrocities as genocide , instead waiting for an official position from the UN Security Council . He switched his position once the UN Commission released its inquiry on Syria
