Format:Paperback
The author establishes his thesis that the idea of a commission government for Newfoundland (replacing the elected Parliament) developed before the actual events which led to the creation of the Commission of Government by the United Kingdom Parliament. It shows how disillusionment with political infighting coupled with a collapse in fish prices and the economy generally created the background to the idea. After describing the "pre-crisis" origins of the policy the author, deals rather solidly with the views expressed to the Royal Commission set up to inquire into the state of Newfoundland. Although the author's use of English is readable, the book does require some diligence to assess the facts presented. However the work does not continue to deal with the legalities of the transfer of authority to the Commission. I found this work useful in developing the part of the process, of Newfoundland's accession to Canada, which has hitherto been under-examined.
