Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has voiced strong opposition to the federal government’s plan to relocate tens of thousands of asylum claimants to the province, citing concerns over a lack of financial support and the strain on public services.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Smith criticized the federal government’s approach, saying, “Alberta’s government is opposed to the federal government’s plan to relocate tens of thousands of asylum claimants to Alberta, especially without any financial assistance to support the province in doing so.”
