B.C. Premier David Eby has expressed frustration over the federal government's allocation of $750 million to Quebec for immigration, which he believes comes at the expense of Western Canada. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently met with Quebec Premier François Legault to discuss asylum seekers, temporary immigration, and bilateral agreements. Meanwhile, Transport Minister Pablo Rodriguez faced questions regarding the lack of financial assistance to Western provinces dealing with similar immigration challenges. In response to the funding concerns, Minister Marc Miller suggested that B.C. should take more responsibility for asylum claims.
