New figures show Canada has conducted only a small fraction of allied airstrikes in Iraq and Syria since last year.

It was exactly a year ago Wednesday that Parliament voted in favour of sending Canadian military aircraft to the Middle East to participate in the U.S.-led bombing campaign against ISIL. The mission was originally confined to Iraq, but extended into Syria following a contentious debate in March.

According to the Department of National Defence, Canadian fighter jets have conducted 172 airstrikes in Iraq and Syria since last October. That accounts for just over 2.3 per cent of the 7,323 total U.S. and allied attacks launched against ISIL targets since the start of the war.

The vast majority of those strikes were in Iraq. The Conservative government said in March that sending Canadian military aircraft into Syria was essential for the mission’s success. But National Defence said only four attacks have been carried out inside that country, which represents 0.15 per cent of allied strikes there.
