Calgary Herald – Kenney Working on Contingency Plans if Asked for Help with Syrian Refugee Crisis
Government officials are bracing for the possibility Canada is asked to take in people fleeing the ongoing conflict in Syria, Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said Wednesday.

[…] Kenney has come under repeated criticism from Syrian-Canadian groups and refugee advocates for failing to provide a concrete strategy for the growing refugee problem caused by the two-year-old civil war. The United Nations estimates more than a million people have left the country since 2011 — a number they say could eventually triple if no solution is found. Kenney said officials from his department were recently in Lebanon and Jordan assessing the situation of Syrians who’d fled there.
