John McCallum and Minister of Immigration

Minister McCallum: This is the right thing to do, he added, according to CTV. It is the Canadian way. We are determined to bring refugees here quickly but we are also determined to do it right in terms of security and in terms of health, Minister of Immigration and Refugees John McCallum told reporters in Ottawa Friday. When asked whether the Jan. 1 deadline will be met, Minister McCallum said, Certainly the commitment remains 25,000 and the cost and other details will be revealed on Tuesday. I call upon Canadians, if they have access to free or cheap but decent lodging, help us out, we want to hear from you, he said. McCallum also appealed to Canadians to come forward to help.
