Two weeks before the federal election in December 1917, the newly-formed Union government under Robert Borden passed this order-in-council giving "farmers and farm labourers" a military exemption, thereby neutralizing their opposition to conscription and lessening the tensions caused by the conscription crisis.

In September 1917, the Borden government passed the Wartime Elections Act which gave the vote to Canadian women who were mothers, wives, widows, sisters, or daughters of persons, male or female, living or dead, who were serving or had served overseas in the Canadian or British forces.
