Immigration Minister: Coderre and Health Care

immigration minister: It will ensure people without status or documentation will not be reported to federal authorities when they receive city services - and they will have access to those services, including city-funded shelters, housing and food banks, according to CTV. The motion was put forward by Mayor Denis Coderre, who formerly served as Canada's immigration minister. The declaration was adopted unanimously by Montreal city council on Monday afternoon. We can straighten up that situation and find a way to address the undocumented, said Coderre. We can provide health care, housing, integration. Coderre said he thinks it's time for Montreal to offer more. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
