The New Democratic Party wholeheartedly agrees with the present report.
However, we feel the need to add the following further
recommendations to those already agreed upon:
- The
Government of Canada should significantly increase its commitment to
Syrian refugee resettlement beyond the current pledge of up to 1,300,
accelerate processing of Syrian refugees coming to Canada, and expedite
family reunification for Syrian refugees who have relatives in Canada.>
- The
Government of Canada should ensure that its humanitarian assistance for
the conflict in Syria reaches the most vulnerable people. Canada should
show leadership in targeting its assistance to help those most at risk
from the devastating physical, social, and economic impacts of the
Syrian conflict.>
- The
Government of Canada should match financial donations made by individual
Canadian citizens to support the work of registered Canadian charities
in response to the conflict in Syria.>
