QUEBEC — The vast majority of asylum seekers arriving at the Roxham Rd. crossing last weekend were transferred directly to Ontario, Quebec Immigration Minister Christine Fréchette revealed Tuesday.
On the same day the Quebec government upped the pressure on Washington to amend the Safe Third Country Agreement between Canada and the United States to cover irregular crossing points, Fréchette said Ottawa has taken heed of Quebec’s position that it has reached its maximum capacity when it comes to asylum seekers.
