Royal Commission on Economic Union and Development Prospects for Canada

The Royal Commission on the Economic Union and Development Prospects for Canada (also known as the Macdonald Commission) was appointed in 1982 to examine the future economic prospects of the country and the effectiveness of its political institutions. (See also Royal Commissions.) The commission was chaired by Donald S. Macdonald, a former minister of finance, and included 12 other commissioners who represented diverse elements of Canadian society. In addition to the normal representation of regional and linguistic interests, the commission included members from business, labour, the co-operative movement, the legal and academic communities, the public service and all three national political parties. In effect, many of the basic economic and ideological conflicts of the country were built into the commission from the outset, and the process of writing a report inevitably became an effort at consensus building.
