Canada: US shouldn't worry about our resettlement of Syrian refugees
[Rudaw] Canada has rejected US concerns that its rapid resettlement of thousands of Syrian refugees may pose a threat to it."We have put in place layers of security activity to ensure that our refugee initiative with respect to Syria can be successful," the country's public safety minister Ralph Goodale told parliament on Wednesday. "The program is working well and indeed it will resolve in something that Canadians can be very, very proud of," he added according to AFP. He also said that Canada has been briefing the United States about their program "and they understand exactly the layers of security screening that are in place." A spokeswoman for Canada's foreign affairs minister also said that Canada has "emphasized and will continue to emphasize the integrity and robustness of our approach to the selection and screening of the Syrian refugees under consideration."
