MP for Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Raises Concerns Regarding Refugees

The Syrian Refugee crisis is a concern for the Member of Parliament from Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo who weighed in on the subject.

Refugees shouldn’t be turned away says Conservative Cathy McLeod, but the time frame being outlined by the Liberal government is too aggressive to overcome her concerns with security:

“There’s many many security experts that indicate that we can’t be moving 25,000 people to Canada on the timeline that is being established and still be ensuring that appropriate security checks are being done.”

The province of British Columbia is expected to be the new home of up to three thousand of the twenty-five thousand refugees under the Liberal government’s resettlement plan.
