Crisis Today: Countries and Refugees

crisis today: I think one aspect of this crisis today is that there are not enough countries receiving enough refugees to solve the problem, to put it mildly, he said, according to CBC. So I do believe this initiative, which is essentially to export to interested countries in the rest of the world our privately sponsored refugees program could make a significant impact on the refugee crisis. Speaking at a news conference to officially launch the Global Refugee Sponsorship Initiative, which will train and advise other countries on how to establish programs that allow private individuals and groups to finance, facilitate and support refugees coming to the country, McCallum urged other countries to do more. Participants from Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, Germany, New Zealand, the U.K. and the U.S. are in Ottawa for a three-day session on how Canada program could be replicated in their own countries. Canada is dedicating six staff to spearhead the initiative to get the greatest buy in from other countries. About 90 international delegates are attending. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
