There is one important matter which might perhaps give rise to some misapprehension. In clause (4) it is said. “subject to the law of the appropriate legislature, a person who has migrated into a province, etc., etc.,”. The words “subject to the law of the appropriate legislature” might create doubts and confusion. I should like, subject to the permission of the House, and you, Sir, permitting me to do so, to delete these words, “subject to the law of the appropriate legislature” and to say thus: “That Notwithstanding anything in clause (3), a person who has migrated into a province etc.”. It was the object of clause (4), that the residential qualification in clause (3) should not apply to the refugees. I think, the clause should read:”(4) That, notwithstanding anything in clause (3), a person who has migrated into a Province or Acceding State etc., etc.” I think this makes it clear.
