Government: Refugee Claimants and Language Training

government: Goodale needs to get closer to the people who are providing the services and he'll understand how overstretched they are, Pallister said, according to CBC. We're asking for the federal government to stop standing by while Manitobans do all the work. Mr. Pallister's comments came shortly after Goodale said the federal government is monitoring the growing number of refugee claimants who are crossing the border from the United States. Federal ministers see the asylum seeker situation on the ground in Emerson, Man. The community of Emerson has been one of the hot spots and Pallister has asked for more money to help pay for housing, language training, legal aid and other services. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
