I pay tribute to the Senator for expressing an interest in people who had to emigrate over a long period. He has always fought their corner and has always brought the matter to the attention of the Government in a constructive manner. For that reason, I thank him for his contributions.

On the Dano case in particular, we certainly need to monitor the situation closely. We must examine the effect of the legislation in the United Kingdom. If there is evidence of a problem arising, the Department will react. The Senator can be assured of that. I thank him for bringing this matter to our attention.
