Security matters when helping refugees
Our hearts are broken by what happened in Paris. At the same time, this savage event prompts us to reflect on what is happening at home and abroad. In Canada, that has meant a renewed attention to the flood of refugees fleeing Iraq & Syria. In order to help the genuine refugees who need our help, we must conduct the proper security screening to protect our own security.
TAKE ACTION:
Read Rev. El Shafie's article.- Write Prime Minister Trudeau & Immigration Minister McCallum to tell them not to rush the resettlement of refugees, do the proper security screening to protect Canadians and our ability to help.
- Be heard and write your Member of Parliament.
