FRENCH IMMIGRATION | |
|
The Cabinet Committee on Immigration Policy, at a meeting held on September 9, 1948, considered a proposal that, for immigration purposes, French citizens be considered to be in a preferential class similar to British subjects and United States citizens. This might not greatly increase the number of French immigrants coming to Canada, due to certain restrictions imposed by the French Government upon the emigration of its citizens, but it might help to mitigate certain Canadian criticisms. The Committee, after discussion, agreed to recommend for consideration by the Cabinet: (a) that French citizens coming to Canada as immigrants be considered on a similar basis to British and United States immigrants; and, (b) that an Order in Council be passed accordingly.38 38Approuvée par le Cabinet le 16 septembre./Approved by Cabinet on September 16. | |
