The Liberal Party and Federal Election Campaign

government statement: Originally, the government pledged to bring 25,000 refugees in by the end of 2015, according to CTV. That goal was later adjusted to 10,000 refugees by the end of the year. The Liberal Party promised to bring tens of thousands of refugees to Canada during its fall federal election campaign, but repeated delays have resulted in multiple missed deadlines. As that deadline closed in, the government pushed the promise back again, citing problems with poor flying weather as well as other circumstances. Two weeks later, on Wednesday, the government announced it had reached "a significant milestone" in the process. "Canada has now welcomed more than 10,000 Syrian refugees to our country," a government statement said. On Jan. 1, 2016, The Canadian Press reported that 6,064 refugees had arrived under the Liberal commitment, in addition to 1,263 who'd been settled under the previous Conservative Government.
