terrorist attacks: He added that the commitment has "in no way weakened our resolve to ensure first and foremost that Canadians are kept safe." Trudeau comments came before Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall released a letter to the prime minister, in which he advised him to suspend the plan over safety concerns, according to CTV. Wall said in the letter that the devastating terrorist attacks in Paris last Friday, which killed 129 people and injured hundreds more, demonstrated the violence even a small number of "malevolent individuals can inflict upon a peaceful country and its citizens." "We're saying let get it right from a security perspective and a settlement perspective, if that means a few months, or even a longer delay, that means then it is worth it," said Wall in an appearance on CTV Power Play. Speaking at the G20 summit in Turkey on Monday, Trudeau acknowledged the fear that extremists might pose as legitimate refugees, but he reiterated that "security remains a primary concern." "We have a cabinet committee that is directly on these issues to do exactly what Canadians expect Canada to do, which is welcome in refugees who are fleeing a terrible, terrible conflict in Syria, but to do so in way that keeps Canadians and their communities safe," said Trudeau. Wall said he is concerned the security screening process could be undermined by expediting the process to bring 25,000 refugees to Canada by the end of year. "Usually one miss out of 25,000 would be acceptable for government, for business or almost any organization. Wall said that while the security screening process was perhaps "took too long" under Stephen Harper leadership, it should not be "collapsed" into 45 days for 25,000 people. I don’t know that it is in this instance," Wall said.
