Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks during Question Period in the House of Commons on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, April 10, 2019.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is defending his government’s new tougher line on asylum seekers as the Liberals’ immigration message shifts further away from the calls for openness that defined his party’s 2015 campaign.
The Globe and Mail reported last month that Canada and the U.S. are working behind the scenes to update the agreement and address the loophole. Border Security Minister Bill Blair told The Globe in March that one option for updating the agreement would be to allow Canadian officials to take asylum seekers who cross at an unauthorized crossing to the nearest official border point where they could then be refused entry.
“We need to recognize that there are larger numbers now than before because of global instability in terms of refugees. That’s why we’re putting more resources and we’re also ensuring that the system is fair for everyone. That’s what Canadians expect,” he said.
Ipsos pollster Darrell Bricker and Angus Reid pollster Shachi Kurl both said their polling shows Canadians have recently become less supportive of Canada’s approach to immigration, which has included an increase in annual targets. “It’s certainly going to be subject to constitutional challenge,” Sean Rehaag, who teaches at Osgoode Hall at York University of Toronto, said in an interview.The U.S., unlike Canada, does not currently accept asylum seekers who fled from gender-based violence, or from criminal gangs.
