Thank you.
Funding requested for the resettlement assistance program has substantially increased in fiscal year 2016-17 because of the government's Syrian refugee resettlement commitment, but is expected to return to a normal level in the following years.
Resettlement refugees have the right to apply for family reunification for immediate family members within their first year in Canada, which means a second wave of Syrian refugees could be expected.
How has the department prepared for this possibility in resource allocation for the resettlement assistance program for future years?
