The emergence of the regulatory state in Canada, 1867-1939 / by Carman D. Baggaley.EC24-11/15-1981E-PDF

"We live in a society that many people think is over-regulated; yet we know surprisingly little about how or why most government regulation was introduced. The purpose of this study is to provide answers to these two questions. It examines the origins of regulation in Canada and charts its growth up to 1939. Along the way it draws several parallels with the American experience. Attention is focussed on the period after 1900 because, as the study argues, modern regulation did not emerge until after that date"--Summary, p. v.
