British Columbia Premier David Eby has expressed frustration over the federal government's decision to allocate $750 million to Quebec to address the asylum seekers crisis, while offering no financial assistance to Western Canadian provinces. The decision has sparked criticism from Western Canadian premiers who feel neglected by the Trudeau administration. Transport Minister Pablo Rodriguez and Immigration Minister Marc Miller have defended the allocation, suggesting there may be misunderstandings regarding the purpose of the funding. Eby and other Western leaders argue that their regions are also facing significant challenges related to immigration and deserve similar support.
