Canada: Refugees and Filippo Grandi

canada: The government has met promises like restoring the long-form census, welcoming 25,000 Syrian refugees and creating the Canada Child Benefit, according to The Chronicle Herald. Work on balancing the books continues. Letters he sent his ministers outlining their tasks provide a way of seeing how many campaign promises his government has met. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees says Canada has good credentials on helping refugees, but hopes it can do more. He is due to meet federal officials on Monday. Filippo Grandi said on Friday that Canada can enhance its reputation by ramping up resettlement programs to help share the burden with countries facing an influx of refugees needing a new home.
