March 22, 1918 (13th Parliament, 1st Session)

Mr. CALDER:

There is no statement of that kind. I might say that the Immigration Branch was a very distinct section of the Interior Department, andJ its whole personnel has been moved over. None of the officials attached to any other part of the Interior Department have been taken over with the Immigration Branch. The Immigration Branch was a body of itself within the Interior Department, and that branch has now simply become a department of the public service. I do not know of any particular information that I can bring down in connection with section 5. If the hon. member for Russell (Mr. Murphy) desires any particular information, and will let me know the nature of it, I shall only be too glad to bring it down to the House.
