Canada. Task Force on Labour Relations : The Task Force on Labour Relations was established on 13 December 1966. Its terms of reference, which were set out in the Prime Minister's letter to the Chairman were as follows: "to examine industrial relations in Canada and to make recommendations to the Government with respect to public policy and labour legislation and on such other matters as it considers relevant to the public interest in industrial relations in Canada" (Programme of the Prime Minister's Task Force on Labour Relations (RG 2, Vol 2933, file entitled "Umbrella document").

The Task Force included the Chairman, H. D. Woods of McGill University and three other members, A.W.R. Carrothers, Gérard Dion and John H Crispo. George Saunders acted as both Executive Officer and Director of Research. The Task Force was assisted by officials from several government departments, by a labour management committee, as well as by representatives from both labour and management. The Task Force had meetings with interested parties and government officials, examined foreign experience, commissioned a number of research studies, held hearings and accepted submissions.

A progress report of the Task Force came out in 1968 (tabled in the House of Commons on 29 February 1968, Sessional Paper 268, 1967-68). The final report, entitled Canadian Industrial Relations: The Report of the Task Force on Labour Relations, was tabled in Parliament by Labour Minister Bryce Mackasey the following year (tabled in the House of Commons on 26 March 1969, Sessional Paper 120a, 1968-69).
