Mr. Speaker, we are happy to say that over 1,150 people from Syria have settled in Canada since the start of the Syrian conflict, but once again, do not take my word for it. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees recognizes Canada's international leadership when it comes to providing assistance. This is what Commissioner Guterres said:
Canada has always been extremely generous in relation to international solidarity on refugee issues. So I’m confident that Canada will give a positive and adequate response to the needs that today exist.
