McCallum and Weather

circumstances: McCallum said such factors as poor flying weather, as well as other circumstances, could prevent the government from meeting its goal, according to CTV. If there bad weather, or people wanting to delay their flight, then it much more difficult to deal with that over a period of eight days rather than a period of 60 days, McCallum said. Speaking at a briefing on Wednesday, McCallum said 10,000 refugees will be verified by Dec. 31, but not all will be on Canadian soil. However, McCallum said he is confident that Ottawa will meet its overall target to resettle refugees well before the end of February. Three more flights carrying Syrian refugees are scheduled to land before Dec. 31. As of Dec. 21, 1,869 refugees had landed in Canada. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
