Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau late Wednesday said his country has been seeing larger numbers of refugee claims because of global instability.<\/p>\n
Sustaining Canadians\u2019 confidence in the country\u2019s asylum system means ensuring those who enter Canada do so according to the law, Trudeau told reporters on Parliament Hill.<\/p>\n
He also defended controversial changes to asylum laws included in an omnibus budget bill tabled this week, saying his government wants to ensure Canada\u2019s refugee system is fair for everyone, adding the changes would prevent asylum-seekers from making refugee claims in Canada if they have made similar claims in certain other countries, including the United States.<\/p>\n
Finance Minister Bill Morneau said Canada wants to maintain its reputation as a fair and welcoming country, but also one that is governed by the rule of law.<\/p>\n
