York Assistance: Lebanon and Jordan

york assistance: In our Middle East strategy, we are also making meaningful contributions to stabilize Lebanon and Jordan not least by welcoming more than 40,000 Syrian refugees to Canada, Freeland told a major meeting of the World Jewish Congress in New York, according to Hamilton Spectator. Canada's assistance to Lebanon and Jordan is part of a three-year, 1.6-billion contribution to dealing with the humanitarian challenge posed by the rise of ISIL and the displacement of millions of people in the Middle East. Part of that strategy, Freeland said Monday, is shoring up Lebanon and Jordan countries facing a massive influx of refugees from Syria displaced by fighting between various factions in that country's long civil war. I mention this particular Canadian contribution to the region because, as we all know, the stability of these countries is inextricably linked to the security of Israel. Freeland also cited Canada's participation in the anti-ISIL multinational naval mission known as Command Task Force 150 as part of Canada's contribution to Israel's security. And that is a core international value of Canada's. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
