Jean-Nicolas Beuze of the UN Refugee Agency says while he doesn't know what the number should be, he believes Canada should be accepting more than 10,000 refugees each year. "When you see that Canada needs 310,000 newcomers every year, to only have 10,000 them drawn from the refugee pool begs some questions," said Beuze, the agency's representative in Canada. Beuze, who is visiting New Brunswick to explore the Atlantic immigration program, said Canada has the best possibility and willingness of citizens to receive more refugees. "Last week, there was a report, a poll that indicated Canadians want Canada to do more for refugees," he said. Refugee children with disabilities would have more opportunities living in Canada than a refugee camp says Beuze.
