Asylum Seekers: Question Period and Evan Solomon

asylum seekers: For now, Ottawa is monitoring the situation, but it's still too early to say whether even more asylum seekers will continue walking over Canada's doorstep, Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen said in an interview aired Sunday on CTV's Question Period, according to National Observer. We need to see what happens over the next little while to see if this is a trend, Hussen told CTV's Evan Solomon. Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister has expressed worries that those numbers could rise further as the weather becomes warmer, and has called on Ottawa to provide more help in dealing with the influx. We can't really determine that this is a trend moving forward. Fewer than a dozen were found this weekend, according to Emerson-Franklin Reeve Greg Janzen, although he suspected the drop might have to do with a plunge in the mercury. Over 20 people were intercepted while crossing the border illegally near Emerson, Man., over the weekend two weeks ago. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
