Establishment of Population Council

73.14 Establishment of Population Council

Whereas, Full understanding of the population problem in Canada is inadequate; and,

Whereas, There is a general misconception that due to its geographic size Canada has no population problem; and,

Whereas, Canadian people, like those in the rest of the World, are gravitating to a few major cities and suffer from the same problems as in other countries with less hinterland; and,

Whereas, The cumulative results of Immigration are likely to be as important as the birth rate in their effect on any increase in Canadian population; therefore,

RESOLVED, That the National Council of Women of Canada recommend to the Government of Canada that a Population Council be established to be responsible for research, policy recommendations and publications regarding Canadian population problems.
