Current Resources Dept: The revelation came during a Federal Court hearing into the government's challenge of the release of a handful of migrants earlier this week, according to Vancouver Sun. "The society's immigration funding is limited, and the arrival of the 490 Tamils who are currently detained has placed us in a position where funding their detention reviews ... will, very shortly, exhaust our current resources allocated to immigration matters," the letter reads and funding is quickly running out for lawyers who have been representing 492 Tamil migrants who arrived in Canada aboard the MV Sun Sea last month. Douglas Cannon, one of the lawyers representing the migrants, gave reporters copies of a letter from the Legal Services Society of B.C. informing duty counsel that money for the case is quickly being depleted.
