§ 78. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Under-Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations if he is aware that the Canadian Government Immigration Service encourage skilled British tradesmen to emigrate to Canada by promise of employment there, that such employment is not always found for them, that some are thereby forced to return to Great Britain, and they are then called on by the Canadian Government Immigration Service to repay assisted passage loans made to them on the representation that employment would be found for them in Canada; and if he will ask the Canadian Government to seek means to obviate this injustice.
§ Mr. AlportNo. I understand that the Canadian Government Immigration Service makes every effort to give a fair picture of conditions in Canada to prospective immigrants, and that the declaration signed by applicants for assisted passage loans makes clear that the Canadian authorities cannot guarantee employment in the applicant's own trade and sets out in detail the conditions attaching to the loan.
