Hon. J. A. ROBB (Minister of Immigration and Colonization) moved for leave to introduce Bill No. 112, to amend the Department of Immigration and Colonization Act. He said: This is a very short bill. The amendment is necessary as a result of the courts of British Columbia deciding that section 4 of the Immigration and Colonization Act had the effect of transferring to the Minister of Immigration and Colonization the power conferred on the Minister of Justice by section 43 of the Immigration Act.
Sir HENRY DRAYTON:
What is the
effect of the amendment?

Motion agreed to and bill read the first time.
