Traduction de «Agente de programme d'aide aux réfugiés » (Français → Anglais) :

It needs to be reformed, and if we want to get a refugee appeal division in place, if we want to be able to allocate more resources to resettle more of those who are in dire straits around the world, through our 20% increase in resettlement under the assistance program, if we want faster protection for bona fide refugees, if we want a tool that can help us to consider avoiding the imposition of visas in the future that are injurious to our diplomatic and commercial relations, if we want all of these things, Mr. Chairman, then I submit ...[+++] that this is a sound and balanced package that can be supported by all of those who believe in Canada's humanitarian tradition as a place of refuge.

2. In the Hague Programme of 4-5 November 2004, the European Council acknowledged the need for the EU to contribute, in a spirit of shared responsibility to a more accessible, equitable and effective international protection system in partnership with third countries and to provide access to protection and durable solutions at the earliest possible stage. A distinction was drawn between the differing needs of countries in regions of transit and countries in regions of origin. Countries in regions of origin and transit will be encouraged in their efforts to strengthen their capacity for the protection of refugees. On countries and regions ...[+++] of origin, the European Council further invited the Commission to develop EU Regional Protection Programmes in partnership with the third countries concerned and in close consultation and cooperation with UNHCR. These programmes should build on experience gained in pilot protection programmes to be launched before the end of 2005. These programmes will incorporate a variety of relevant instruments, primarily focused on capacity building, and include a joint resettlement programme for those Member States which may be ready to participate in such a programme on a voluntary basis. With regard to countries of transit, the European Council emphasised the need for intensified cooperation and capacity building, both on the southern and eastern borders of the EU to enable those countries better to manage migration and to provide adequate protection for refugees.

This would include a 20 per cent increase in the number of overseas refugees selected in cooperation with the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees and resettled in Canada from camps, as well as a 20 per cent increase in settlement support for government assisted refugees through what we call the Refugee Assistance Program.

Mr. Kenney: First, on average for the past decade, we have accepted roughly 10,000 resettled refugees, about three quarters of whom were government-assisted refugees identified by the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees, whose resettlement to Canada the federal government facilitated and who have benefited from the Refugee Assistance Program.
