Cato Institute: Pilot Project and Refugees

cato institute: An assistant secretary of state reportedly referred to it at a public forum, according to Huffington Post Canada. Canada immigration minister says he has heard about a pilot project, and one small-government advocate says he been advising policy-makers on it. A group that works with the government on resettling refugees says a pilot project is in the works. David Bier of the libertarian Cato Institute said he used the experience of the northern neighbour while making the case to government officials that the private sector could play a bigger role in resettling refugees. Syrian refugees hold Canadian flags as they take part in a welcome service at the St. He said there was initial reticence when he first discussed it last year with government officials, but he said the White House became enthusiastic and the State Department got involved in the details.
