Quebec91裸聊视频檚 premier wants to bring the issue of asylum seekers to the attention of his fellow provincial leaders.

Canada91裸聊视频檚 premiers are in Halifax this week for the Council of the Federation conference, where Quebec91裸聊视频檚 Fran莽ois Legault says it91裸聊视频檚 clear the current situation in his province must change.

The issue has been a long-standing one for Legault, who also addressed the matter last month during a meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

91裸聊视频淲e really need to decrease the number,91裸聊视频� said Legault, noting around 190,000 asylum seekers enter Quebec per year. He added, 91裸聊视频淭he future of French on the Island of Montreal is in play.91裸聊视频�

Also on board with this issue is Alberta Premier Danielle Smith.

While Alberta and Quebec share an interest in having the federal government support asylum seekers in Canada, Smith says Alberta doesn91裸聊视频檛 have Ottawa91裸聊视频檚 ear on this matter the way Quebec seemingly does.

91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檇 like them to make the same commitment,91裸聊视频� she said.

A press release from the Prime Minister91裸聊视频檚 Office last month stated Trudeau and Legault discussed the issue of asylum seekers, with $750 million in federal money promised to the Quebec government for immigration-related services.

The issue of equalization is also up for discussion in Halifax before the three-day meeting ends Wednesday. That item is of particular concern for Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey.

The province has launched a court challenge to push for a change to the equalization formula, but it91裸聊视频檚 something Furey hopes won91裸聊视频檛 actually reach the court system.

91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檙e firm in our proposition that the formula isn91裸聊视频檛 being equally applied and doesn91裸聊视频檛 contemplate the cost to deliver services,91裸聊视频� he said.

91裸聊视频淎s a result, it doesn91裸聊视频檛 reflect the spirit of what was signed in the Constitution.91裸聊视频�

A change was made under the Harper government which required aggregate equalization payments to grow in line with the rate of Canada91裸聊视频檚 national growth. Since that change was made just after the 2008 financial crisis, the formula has undergone some minor tweaks, but no real major reform.
