Canada makes announcements of new measures to deal with asylum seekers
Ottawa, May 7 (IBNS): The Canadian government has announced new measures to deal with the asylum seekers, media reports said on Monday.
Canadian Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, Ralph Goodale, met with several other ministers to discuss the ways to tackle the situation.
The federal government is trying to reach out to the asylum seekers, who are crossing into Quebec from the United States.
The announcement has been made after the Liberals were questioned by the Conservatives as to how the government will handle the situation.
However the details of the discussion are yet to come.
Last year, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressed his concern for the border issue. "Our team is working hard to address the situation at the border – thread from Minister," the PM had tweeted.
Countering Trudeau's comment, Conservative MP Michelle Rempel tweeted to say: "No, you've broken our system. Check out this thread from me."
Blaming the government's approach towards the whole situation, Conservative MP Michelle Rempel said the government's sought solution is not a long term. She told the Star that such step will only encourage more people to migrate into the country.
