Election Campaign and Conservative Government

Conservative government: And last month, at the start of the election campaign, the Conservatives promised, if re-elected, to bring yet in another 10,000 refugees fleeing religious persecution in Syria and Iraq over four years, according to Globe and Mail. Canada could do more. That comes in addition to a vow in 2013 to bring in 1,300 by the end of 2014. But even the modest goals set by the Conservative government are not being met. It wasn’t able to meet its original commitment to bring in 1,300 by the end of 2014. For reasons unknown, Ottawa has been slow to move and reluctant to share information. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
