Day Target: Yazidis Yazidis and Liberals Pledge

day target: Liberals pledge help for Yazidis Yazidis singled out for hatred "At a time when the world is so divided on the question of immigration and refugees, I think it is wonderful as a Canadian that while we different parties have different views on many things, we share the view that it is right to welcome the vulnerable people to our country," he said, according to CBC. McCallum said the government is still working on a concrete plan to meet a 120-day target, and would not offer an estimate of how many Yazidis could be brought to Canada. After the vote, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Minister John McCallum said he was pleased that all parties in the House of Commons could rise "above politics" on the issue. Earlier in the day, he said most Yazidi refugees are in Iraq, Greece and Turkey. Yazidis 'abandoned' Conservative Immigration critic Michelle Rempel said over the last year, Yazidi women have been "abandoned." She called on the government to set specific quotas and to work with the international community to establish "safe zones" for Yazidis facing persecution within refugee camps. Bringing them to Canada from each area has its own set of challenges and pros and cons. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
