UBC Allard School of Law professors Efrat Arbel and Catherine Dauvergne are available to comment on the Syrian refugee crisis and Canada’s immigration and refugee system.
Immigration Minister Chris Alexander has temporarily suspended his election campaign after news broke that a Syrian family died while trying to reach Europe, and after failed attempts by relatives to bring them to Canada. A disturbing photograph that’s made headlines around the world shows the family’s three-year-old son washed ashore a Turkish beach.
