Housing for asylum seekers in Canada sparks funding conflict between all levels of government

As Canada announces new funding to assist provinces and municipalities in finding housing for asylum seekers, the governments of Ontario and Toronto are calling on the federal government to add more money to help.

Toronto is one of the most visible places housing for asylum claimants has been an issue, with some currently sleeping on the streets as they wait for placement, but Immigration Minister Sean Fraser says they're working to assist all communities. 

As Sean Previl explains, the conflict brewing between governments has those claimants waiting for a home urging for action to be taken now.
