The Unemployment Insurance Act of 1940
instituted a national public system of
unemployment insurance. It also
included the reconstruction program,
which included family allowances and
proposals for health insurance.
Since unemployment rates rose to 30% during the 1930’s,
the liberals expanded employment bureaus and
administered the unemployment insurance system.
Unemployment camps were also set up in various
provinces.

Business Owners

The primary concern of business
owners in Canada is the problem
with exporting. This may include
high tariffs and trade rules. That
is why the Liberals prioritized the
Reciprocal Trade Agreement.
This particular agreement with
the United States lowered tariffs,
and thus, it yielded an increase in
the amount of trade, mainly
exports (since exports contribute
33% of the country’s Gross
Income)
Other Parties
Conservatives- raised tariffs, did basically nothing for
the 5-year term.
 Communist- wants Canada to be a government-reliant
country
 Social Credit- Distributing “free money” makes the
people government reliant.

LIBERALS!
