U.S. president-elect Donald TrumpB次元官网网址檚 promise to launch a mass deportation of millions of undocumented people has the Canadian government looking at its own border.

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland says the issue is one of two B次元官网网址減oints of focusB次元官网网址� for a recently revived cabinet committee to handle Canada-U.S. relations.

Freeland says she has also been speaking to premiers about the issue this week.

She adds that the committee has a plan, but did not share details.

Canada saw a major increase in the number of irregular border crossings between 2016 and 2023, which the RCMP attributes in part to the first Trump presidency.

The national police service says they have been working through multiple scenarios in case there is a change in irregular migration - which is trending down this year.
