WHITEHORSE — British Columbia Premier David Eby says federal immigration money is being"showered down" on Ontario and Quebec"at the expense" of Western Canada.
He made the comments as premiers from Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Saskatchewan and Yukon wrapped up the annual Western Premiers' Conference in Whitehorse. Legault has previously said the number of temporary residents to the province — including asylum seekers, students and workers — had"exploded" to 560,000, a number he says doubled in two years, straining social services.
