Minister John McCallum and Liberal Government

Syrian refugees: These are different times, according to Toronto Star. The echoes of his cabinet oath had barely faded this month when Immigration Minister John McCallum began facing demands to put a price tag on fulfilling Canada ambitious plan to welcome 25,000 Syrian refugees by year end. Matthew and the Prophet Muhammad spoke with favour on those who saw hungry, needy strangers and took them in, there was no mention of cost. McCallum said again Thursday he’ll soon deliver. All Canadians know is that the new Liberal government has promised $100 million this year and the same next year for processing and settling the war-weary newcomers. But, as yet, there are too many variables for certainty. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
