In Sweden, Governor General talks immigration, refugees alongside trade

The Governor General says Swedish officials have shown a keen interest in Canada’s private sponsorship system for refugees as the Scandinavian country looks to overcome immigration challenges. David Johnston says the idea of mobilizing private groups to sponsor refugees and help them out financially when they first arrive in Canada is a foreign concept to many countries, including Sweden, which has seen its refugee and immigration program come under fire in the past week by U.S. President Donald Trump.
