OTTAWA, Dec 9 (Reuters) - The first planeload of Syrian
refugees from camps in Jordan and Lebanon will arrive in Canada
on Thursday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Wednesday.
Another planeload will arrive in Montreal on Saturday, he
told legislators.
The Liberal government plans to resettle 10,000 Syrian
refugees by the end of the year and a further 15,000 by the end
of February. Officials say the refugees on the first planeloads
will be mostly or entirely privately sponsored.
