Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be taking questions from the media Thursday in Halifax, N.S. after holding a town hall with university students earlier in the day.

On Wednesday, Trudeau addressed Roxham Road in Quebec amid calls from the opposition and Quebec’s provincial government to quickly close the crossing due to a rising influx of migrants entering there irregularly.

Trudeau said the only way to “effectively” close the crossing — which sits on the border of Quebec and New York state — is to renegotiate the Safe Third Country Agreement with the United States.

“The only way to effectively shut down not just Roxham Road, but the entire border to these irregular crossings, is to renegotiate the Safe Third Country Agreement, which is serious work that we are doing as a government right now,” he said.
