Montreal Gazette Dept: The stowaways were found yesterday aboard a huge container ship that docked at the Port of Montreal, according to Montreal Gazette. "We have to be very careful with information like that because if it is human trafficking -those details could be part of the investigation," Roby said. She would not say where the group is being held, but noted there is a CBSA facility in Laval and authorities are being tight-lipped about the nine foreign nationals being detained by Canadian immigration officials in a case of possible human smuggling. The Canada Border Services Agency said the nine foreigners, who boarded in Casablanca, Morocco, are in good health. Spokesperson Jacqueline Roby would not comment on a media report the stowaways were found in a container with a false-bottom compartment, and she would not reveal the individuals' gender, ages or nationality.
