Problems at the border were among the issues discussed during a town hall meeting in Dryden with Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff.

Ignatieff says he's the only leader who believes its a major issue.



"The one time I met with the President of the United States for thirty-five minutes, what did I talk about for 15 minutes? It was the border," says Ignatieff. "I thought this was my one shot as leader of the opposition to talk about something really matter economically and I did raise that issue with him."

Ignatieff says Americans with minor convictions who want to spend a week fishing in northwestern Ontario shouldn't be turned away at the border.
