John Mundy and Ambassador to Iran

government-assisted: Our government must uphold our international humanitarian obligations with respect to refugee asylum and resettlement, according to Globe and Mail. Transferring these responsibilities to civil society is a slippery slope and one that has implications for all refugees needing Canada protection now and in the future. Canadians should expect the government to live up to its commitments toward government-assisted refugees – and if and when it falls short, we should hold the government to its responsibilities, not say this looks too hard for you – we’ll take over. It is true that there have been some hiccups in the reception of some of the government-assisted refugees, but they have been over-dramatized in some media coverage and are being quickly addressed by the responsible organizations. The government is bringing refugees to Canada on an urgent basis, which is the right thing to do because the situation for Syrian refugees is dire. It is not surprising that there are some challenges, given the rapid increase in numbers of arrivals. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
