Newfoundland National Convention, 1946-1948: Volume 1: Debates. Volume 2: Reports and Papers.James Hiller, Michael Harrington The history of the Newfoundland National Convention is of key importance for understanding how Newfoundland became a Canadian province in 1949. In 1946 forty-five convention delegates were elected to consider the condition and prospects of Newfoundland and Labrador, and make recommendations to the British government concerning the forms of government that should be put before the electorate in a referendum. The debates and committee reports were not published after the Convention's dissolution in 1948; they are now brought together in an accessible form for the first time. |
