"'Minister Anandasangaree remains in regular contact with federal and local partners to ensure the safety and security of all FIFA World Cup events in Toronto and Vancouver,' spokesperson Simon Lafortune said."
"'Canada looks forward to welcoming the world for the FIFA World Cup. All matters relating to domestic public safety rest with Canadian law enforcement officials,' Anand's spokesperson Myah Tomasi said."
Toronto city council adopted a motion opposing the presence of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at FIFA World Cup games.
