German Chancellor Angela Merkel and CTV News Channel

tiny portion: Although McCallum says Canadians have stepped up, he admits the number Canada is taking is a tiny portion of those in need, according to CTV. McCallum said German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been a real heroine for allowing in more than a million migrants -- many of them considered refugees. The minister comments, made on CTV News Channel, come as a new United Nations report says that a record 65 million people were displaced in 2015. I mean, she in some trouble for it now, he said, but I think it was an amazing gesture. I think that is why the world took such notice when we stepped up to the plate under Justin Trudeau leadership, when he met that first plane of refugees and that photograph went around the world, he said. I think the world overall is not responding very well to this vast number of refugees, McCallum added, stating that intolerance is preventing some nations from taking their share.
