Real Change: A New Plan For a Strong Middle Class (page 64)

" In November 2015, the Government showed leadership by committing $678 million over six years, starting in 2015–16, to resettle 25,000 Syrian refugees by February 29, 2016, and by committing to resettle an additional 10,000 government-assisted Syrian refugees over the course of 2016. Budget 2016 proposes to provide $245 million over five years, starting in 2016–17, for the identification, overseas processing, transportation and resettlement of the additional 10,000 Syrian refugees. " ("Growing The Middle Class" Budget 2016-2017)

"Recognizing the horrific violence experienced by survivors of Daesh,
particularly women and girls, the Government has announced that it will resettle approximately 1,200 highly vulnerable refugees, including Yazidi women and girls and other survivors of Daesh, to Canada, and support them in the challenges that lie ahead by providing them with the appropriate settlement supports, including psychosocial, physical and social supports." (Building a strong middle class, March 22, 2017)
