B.C. Premier David Eby continues to criticize Ottawa’s contributions to his province
Premier David Eby is expanding his criticism of what he says is an unfair share of federal funding being given to Western Canada .
Miller responded that British Columbia needs to step up and take in more asylum seekers who come to Canada. “I think people in the west are used to the special treatment for Quebec and Ontario, but eventually it gets to be too much,” Eby’s statement said. His office points to data published by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada that shows 3,890 asylum claimants were processed for B.C. in 2022, increasing to 7,685 in 2023.In Ottawa Wednesday, Miller reiterated that the money for Quebec is for asylum seekers and that Ontario and Quebec have been taking on a disproportionate portion of that population.
Gerald Baier, an associate professor of political science at the University of British Columbia, said it’s common for provincial politicians, particularly in the lead-up to an election, to defer some responsibility for difficult policy issues onto the federal government.
