We apologize, but this video has failed to load.“The long-term piece is going to come through a community of nations around the world who address irregular migration seriously by making sure that we’re addressing the root cause, whether it’s poverty or violence or persecution,” Fraser said.Quebec Premier Francois Legault has been pushing the federal government to do something about the tens of thousands of would-be asylum seekers pouring into the province from the U.S. each year.
