Mr. ISNOR:

Following the statement made by the Acting Minister of Mines and Resources, I should like to ask if there has been any change in the landing regulations covering immigrants coming to Canada. I understand that the former arrangement was that they would land at Halifax, but now it appears that they are going to be landed at Montreal.

Mr. MacKINNON:

I stated that the main points for airborne traffic would be Montreal and Toronto, but I might add that that does not mean that the immigrant must carry on to Montreal or to Toronto or stop at Montreal or Toronto. The scheme is liquid enough to carry these immigrants on to their destination.

I appreciate the minister's statement that immigration offices will be opened in Belfast. That will certainly improve the standard of immigration from other parts of the British empire.
