Scope and content
The series consists of notes, research and reports written by Gilbert Jackson and other unofficial committee members for various Royal Commissions and Special Committees from the late 1930s to early 1950s. Arranged alphabetically under the name of the company the report was written for, the commission or special committee, the files within the series include reports to: the Great-Lakes Newfoundland Atlantic Company Limited (1938); Royal Commission on Banking and Currency (1933); Royal Commission on Canada’s Economic Prospects (1956); Special Committee on Economic Re-establishment and Social Security of the Senate and the Special Committee on Reconstruction and Re-establishment of the House of Commons of Canada (1958); Special Committee on Price Spreads and Mass Buying (1934); and Standing Committee on Finance (1951-1952). Documenting Canada’s economic investments, prospects and problems with regards to the war, social welfare plans and tariffs, as well as Canadian Chartered banks and returns, the series also consists of a file on taxation and income charts for Canada, Britain and the United States ([194-?]).
