has gloss | eng: The Royal Commission on Canadas Economic Prospects was initiated by the Louis St. Laurent government in order to develop recommendations regarding the Canadian economy. Chaired by Walter L. Gordon, its 1956 and 1957 reports were representative of a period of growing concern for Canadian nationalism and questioned the governments policy of allowing control of Canadas natural resources and other business enterprises to be sold to foreign interests. When Gordon became Minister of Finance a decade later, he commissioned Mel Watkins to conduct a further investigation into foreign ownership of the Canadian economy - resulting in the "Watkins Report". The Canada Development Corporation was created in 1971 as a result of both the Royal Commissions and the Watkins Report's recommendations. |
