Canadian Labor Laws and the Treaty

Written by Bryce M. Stewart, this work explores the legal and social frameworks governing the Canadian workforce during a pivotal era of industrial reform. A central focus is placed on the impact of the Treaty of Versailles and the establishment of the International Labour Organization (ILO) on domestic policy.The text examines how international standards for working conditions, hours of labor, and industrial safety were integrated into the Canadian legislative landscape. It delves into the constitutional challenges posed by the division of powers between federal and provincial governments, illustrating the complexities of implementing treaty obligations in a federal state. This volume serves as an essential historical record for those interested in the history of labor movements, the development of international law, and Canadian constitutional history.
