The Trudeau government has approved a plan requested by Quebec to ship asylum claimants who illegally cross into Canada via Roxham Road into Ontario cities such as Niagara Falls and Ottawa.
Quebec authorities have pleaded with Ottawa in recent months to alleviate the stress the influx of migrants has caused for the province.
The government of Quebec is now requesting more help, claiming that the province does not have the services or capacity readily available to take in such a large quantity of migrants.
In the first five months of this year, between January and May a record number of 13,000 illegal border crossings took place.
