Vic Toews: Migrant Ships

Human Trafficking Dept: "I don't want to talk too much about an operational issue," he told reporters. But he added that the arrival last month of 492 Tamil migrants aboard the MV Sun Sea was "seen as a bit of a test ship" and that there is "certainly a possibility of other ships coming to Canada.", according to Montreal Gazette. Yesterday, the government announced it was partnering with the RCMP and Crime Stoppers to raise awareness of human trafficking and to educate the public on how to report suspicious cases and public Safety Minister Vic Toews said yesterday there is a "possibility" that other migrant ships could be destined for Canada. Toews made his remarks as the government continued to ramp up the rhetoric in its bid to combat the illegal movement of people across international borders. As reported in the news.
