Immigration Minister John McCallum and Naheed Nenshi Alberta Minister

: Immigration Minister John McCallum met with Mayor Naheed Nenshi and Alberta Minister of Jobs, Skills, Training and Labour on Wednesday in Calgary to discuss the strategy, according to CTV. McCallum is travelling across the country to publicly acknowledge the contribution Canadians are making to the initiative and to encourage others to do the same. The Trudeau government has promised to bring in 10,000 refugees by the end of 2015 and another 15,000 early next year. My purpose in this trip was two-fold. And I want to honour them because they should be honoured but I also want to do that to encourage others to step up to the plate, said McCallum. One, I want to honour and make public the contributions of Canadians who are really stepping up to the plate to help out on this national project, which is the refugees from Syria.
