Winterized trailers will soon be replacing the tents providing temporary shelter to asylum seekers who have crossed the Quebec-U.S. border, even as the number of irregular border crossings continues to drop. A spokesman for Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale says a contract has been awarded to a private company to provide heated accommodation for up to 200 people near the Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle border station. Scott Bardsley says half of the trailers should be operational by mid-November, with the second group coming into service a month later.

According to the Mushrooms Canada report, the sector, with 194 farms across the country, has a job vacancy rate of close to 9.7 per cent and migrant workers account for more than a quarter of the workforce.
