Cabinet Meeting: Canada and Scoping Issues

cabinet meeting: But this is very exploratory at the moment, scoping issues and potential solutions, according to CTV. There have been reports this week that Canada wants the agreement rewritten to apply to the entire border. The aim would be to stem the flow of asylum seekers that have been coming into Canada from the U.S. It's a discussion we're having with the Americans about the various techniques that could be pursued on both sides of the border to ensure security and integrity, Goodale said as he left the weekly cabinet meeting. But that kind of expansion would not be in Canada's interests and could actually pose safety issues, said Goodale. He adds that Canada has not entered into formal talks with the Trump administration. That ... would increase insecurity at the border and make the crossing issues less safe, he said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
