Canada’s Immigration Minister Marc Miller will provide an update Wednesday, alongside Public Safety Minister David McGuinty, on measures introduced to "improve the integrity" of the country’s immigration system and strengthen border security.

The announcement comes after several other Canadian provinces announced their plans to improve border security earlier this week.

The Quebec government said Tuesday that the province is ready to deploy 300 additional provincial police officers within 48 hours if it sees a marked rise in illegal crossings.

Saskatchewan, meanwhile, said it will take immediate action to redeploy 16 officers from conservation, Saskatchewan Highway Patrol and canine-handler teams to regularly conduct patrols and public safety campaigns near the border. He said the province also has the ability to offer a surge capacity of up to 95 officers to support federal border agencies if significant illegal activity occurs at the border.

Trump has threatened for weeks to impose 25 per cent tariffs against Canada and Mexico if they don’t improve border security.
