Synopsis

Exploring Canada’s early steps toward unemployment, sickness, and invalidity insurance
This nonfiction study chronicles the debates of a 1929 Canadian committee as it examines how sickness and unemployment insurance might be organized, funded, and surveyed across provinces. It highlights tensions between federal goals and provincial jurisdiction, and it records proposed surveys, data needs, and requests to include workers’ and employers’ voices in policy discussions.

The report frames the scope of what a national approach could look like, including how data from censuses and health statistics might inform decisions. It also captures the process of hearing experts, government officials, and advocates, and it outlines the committee’s recommendations and procedural steps for moving the discussion forward. This edition presents the proceedings in a formal, historical context that sheds light on early policy ideas that influenced later social insurance programs.

- Learn how researchers and lawmakers debated who should lead, fund, and design social insurance in Canada.
- See the kinds of data and questions considered important for assessing sickness and unemployment costs.
- Understand the balance of federal and provincial roles in developing national health and unemployment schemes.
- Review the committee’s suggested next steps, including surveys, conferences, and witness hearings.

Ideal for readers of policy history, public health evolution, and Canadian social policy at the dawn of modern welfare programs.
