File 147715: Labour - Report on Administration of Japanese Affairs in Canada. 1944/10/10. File.

This file contains a textual record.

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".
