Canada and Goodale

Homeland Security: This is a catch-all ASF view; only displays when an unsupported article type is put in an ASF drop zone In a release issued Saturday evening Goodale said the tight timelines won’t affect Canada ability to appropriately select and screen refugees, according to Globe and Mail. Goodale says Canada is integrating security throughout the process. Goodale spoke with Homeland Security secretary Jeh Johnson on Friday about the plans to accept the refugees by the end of the year. The government will provide details on Tuesday on how it will bring the refugees into Canada by the end of next month. A document obtained by The Canadian Press suggests the cost of the resettlement plan could hit $1.2-billion over the next six years with $876.7-million needed in the 2015-2016 budget year alone.
