	Commission of Government - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Commission of Government was established in Newfoundland due to the collapse of democratic institutions during the Great Depression.
		In 1933 after a prolonged period of economic crisis and severe budgetary deficits, the dominion government of Prime Minister Frederick C. Alderdice asked the British government to strike a royal commission to investigate the dominion's crisis.
		The royal commission recommended suspending responsible government in Newfoundland and replacing it with a commission made up of the British appointed governor and six other commissioners appointed by London.

	Commission of Government
		The Commission of Government in Newfoundland was established in response to an extraordinary set of circumstances.
		The commission's report blamed both political corruption and international conditions for Newfoundland's predicament, and advocated replacing RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT with a "Commission of Government" that would rule until Newfoundland was self-supporting again.
		Gradually much of the original goodwill toward the commission government dissipated, and after the war there was increasing agitation for the return of self-government.

	Newfoundland joins Canada, 1949
		During the winter of 1932-33, one-quarter of the population depended on the government for the necessities of tea, flour, pork and molasses.
		Government was more efficient, but hopes for economic development and a substantially higher standard of living had not been realized.
		On Dec. 11, the Labor government of Clement Atlee announced that a "National Convention" of 45 delegates, elected from all parts of Newfoundland and Labrador, would be held the following year to consider the economic and political situation and to recommend constitutional alternatives that might be submitted to the public in a referendum.

	Trilateral Commission: World Shadow Government
		Although the initial arrangements for the commission were laid out in a series of meetings held at the Rockefeller's famous Pocantico Hills estate outside New York City, Rockefeller first introduced the idea of the commission at an annual meeting of the Bilderberg group, this one held in Knokke, Belgium in the spring of 1972.
		The Trilateral Commission was unique, though, in that it brought the Japanese ruling elite into the inner councils of the global power brokers, a recognition of Japan's growing influence in the world economic and political arena.
		One of the commission's primary goals was to place a Trilateral-influenced president in the White House in 1976, and to achieve that goal it was necessary to groom an appropriate candidate who would be willing to cooperate with Trilateral aims.

		It enables the Commission to attract experts of the highest calibre to serve on the Commission, and ensures projects are carried out dispassionately, free from political or other undue influence, and subject to wide and open consultation.
		Also, because the Commission always consults widely on its proposals, it may be possible to keep the ministerial consultation document relatively short, concentrating on the suitability of the proposals for implementation by RRO, and cross-referring to the Commission's consultation on the policy.
		As Commission proposals tend to be relatively uncontroversial, their inclusion in a wider bill will often not add much in terms of additional debate or other workload and handling issues.

	Is a commission a government agency?
		A federal court judge's opinion that the Washington Apple Commission's mandatory assessment is unconstitutional hinges in part on the fact that he does not consider the commission to be a government agency.
		A government tax is not a violation of First Amendment rights, but Judge Edward Shae said during a hearing at the U.S. District Court in Richland, Washington, last month, that the commission is not a government entity and the money it collects is not a tax.
		The commission is, he said, a corporate body that is not answerable to the State of Washington and derives its funding from assessments levied on apple growers and dealers, not from the state's general fund.

	Mexico's Human Rights Commission recommends government not use lie detector tests (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The commission said the tests "violate human rights," because they represent an invasion of privacy, and their use is not adequately regulated.
		The commission, whose recommendations authorities must respond to -- either by obeying or objecting -- also advised government agencies not to use the tests in hiring or employee evaluation, until adequate guidelines are drawn up to govern their use.
		The commission said most subjects would probably be in a "position of disadvantage" in the face of an employer, superior or investigator who asked them to take a test, and thus may be incapable of freely choosing whether to submit or not.

	The Newfoundland Royal Commission, 1933: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage
		In November 1932, in the depths of the Great Depression, the Newfoundland government led by F.C. Alderdice let it be known that there would be a partial default on payments on the public debt, which then stood at approximately $100 million.
		The British and Canadian governments were alarmed, fearing a negative impact on the already fragile stock markets, and thus on the credit of Canada and other British dominions.
		It is one of the most important documents in Newfoundland and Labrador history, marking the end of 79 years of responsible government, the start of a 15-year political hiatus, and, some might argue, the beginning of the road to confederation.

		Its task was to examine the economic and financial condition of the country, and to recommend to the British government suitable forms of government to be placed on the ballot in a national referendum.
		The convention recommended that the referendum choice should be between responsible government and Commission of Government; the British government rejected this advice, and added confederation with Canada.
		The Ottawa delegation of the National Convention negotiated proposed terms of union in 1947, and the Commission of Government appointed a group of Newfoundlanders to negotiate final terms of union after confederation won the referendum in July 1948.
