federal government: He added that the federal government has been working with many private companies to raise funds to help Syrian refugees in Canada, even as the country participates in broader fundraising efforts on an international level, according to CTV. Marie-Claude Bibeau, Canada minister of international development, is representing Canada at a humanitarian aid conference in London, to discuss job creation and education for millions of Syrians who have been driven out of their country by war. McCallum said Canada has been setting an example for other countries with its goal of resettling 25,000 Syrian refugees, despite setbacks that have delayed reaching that goal. Leaders are also expected to discuss political solutions to help stem the tide of refugees flowing out of Syria, where civil war and the Islamic State have forced many to flee. It the fourth time leaders have gathered for the conference, but delegates are hoping for better results this time. The conference is aiming to raise approximately $12.5 billion in Canadian dollars for humanitarian aid. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
