Both the NDP and Liberal leaders said Canada should do more to aid those risking their lives to escape their homelands.
The Liberals’ Justin Trudeau, stumping in Quebec, criticized the Conservative government for its “meagre” efforts to take in refugees from the Middle East. The Liberals have pledged to take in 25,000 Syrian refugees should the party win the Oct. 19 election.
Harper said Wednesday that finding a home for refugees is important, but that governments must also tackle the root cause of the problem, which he said was violence instigated by the Islamic State (http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2015/09/02/europes-migrant-crisis-now-a-canadian-election-issue.html).
