Agencies gear up for thousands of refugees

RCMP and Canada Border Services Agency both say they do have the resources now to deal with the number of refugees from the U-S seeking asylum.  But they are also considering what will happen if hundreds of asylum seekers now turns into thousands trying to cross the border when the warmer weather arrives.

Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale expects the Mounties and C-B-S-A will let his department know what they need.
