The federal government is coming to the aid of legal aid in Ontario.
It’s providing almost $26-million for clinics to handle immigration and refugee cases.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says it’s an announcement he wishes he didn’t have to make.
“The fact that we have to be here today to recognize that yet another Conservative government, the government of Doug Ford, is walking away from services to the most vulnerable, it’s really frustrating,” says Trudeau.
Trudeau says such services should be a shared responsibility but because the Ford government has walked away from its responsibility, the federal government is stepping up.
