BELLEVILLE – After the recent attacks in Paris, some world leaders have been reconsidering [4] plans to bring in Syrian refugees, but Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government says it still anticipates allowing 25,000 Syrians into Canada by 2016 [5].
Recently the premier of Saskatchewan, Brad Wall, called on the Liberal government to pause the program, citing “safety must be priority.”
