BELLEVILLE – After the recent attacks in Paris, some world leaders have been reconsidering plans to bring in Syrian refugees, but Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government says it still anticipates allowing 25,000 Syrians into Canada by 2016.

Recently the premier of Saskatchewan, Brad Wall, called on the Liberal government to pause the program, citing “safety must be priority.”
