Syrian Refugees and NDP Leader Tom Mulcair

Liberal plan: Will the Liberals stick to their year-end goal of 25,000 refugees During the election campaign, the Liberals pledged to resettle 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of this year, according to CBC. But with only a little over five weeks left in 2015, some have questioned whether the Liberal plan is too ambitious. Some information has already been leaked, but there are still outstanding questions about how the plan will unfold. Some have expressed concerns over whether that many refugees can be properly screened and given temporary accommodation in that time. NDP Leader Tom Mulcair has expressed concerns and raised questions over excluding individuals based on gender.
