Scope and content |
This file includes the Department of Labour's published Report on the Administration of Japanese Affairs in Canada, 1942-1944 as well as their Report on the Re-establishment of Japanese in Canada,
1944-1946. In addition to these reports, this file consists of correspondence, memoranda,
and draft Orders-in-Council concerning the administration and management of the "Japanese
in Canada". Also included in the records are the following: proposals for a Loyalty
Commission (to determine the loyalty of Japanese Canadians in the context of the deportation
orders); recommendations for the deportation procedure itself; discussion (and copies)
of legislation that generally place restrictions on persons of Japanese origin in
Canada and specifically, would implicate deportation policy (P.C. 946, 10773); "repatriation"
survey results collected by the Department of Labour and the RCMP; and copies of bills passed by the United States House of Representatives that concern issues of deportation (H.R. 2701, 3012, 3489,
3446, 4103). Both the Report on the Administration of Japanese Affairs in Canada, 1942-1944 and the Report on the Re-establishment of Japanese in Canada, 1944-1946 discuss the "repatriation".

Terminology
Readers of these historical materials will encounter derogatory references to Japanese
Canadians and euphemisms used to obscure the intent and impacts of the internment
and dispossession. While these are important realities of the history, the Landscapes
of Injustice Research Collective urges users to carefully consider their own terminological
choices in writing and speaking about this topic today as we confront past injustice.
