Feds Working With Ontario and Quebec to Help With Immigration Costs to Accommodate Asylum Seekers

Toronto, Quebec in unique positions, but no federal commitment yet to send more money for asylum seekers


CBC 27 JAN 2024














Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc says the federal government will continue to work with Toronto and Quebec to help address the influx of asylum seekers in those regions, but he wouldn’t say whether it will commit to sending the extra funding they’re asking for.





“We recognize that there are increased pressures across the country, but Ontario and Quebec carry a large proportion of this burden, so the Government of Canada will ensure that we continue to work with them,” LeBlanc told CTV’s Question Period host Vassy Kapelos in an interview airing Sunday.

Canada’s immigration system — and its connection to the housing crisis — has been a central focus for the federal government in recent weeks, notably after The Canadian Press reported public servants warned two years ago that ambitious immigration targets could jeopardize housing affordability(opens in a new tab).

Quebec Premier François Legault wrote a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau this week stating the province is at a “breaking point” when it comes to the number of asylum seekers arriving in the province.
