Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. In 1930, a Canadian House of Commons committee reviewed the Canadian national railway systemâs finances to report to Parliament, in response to public concerns. This book is the record of their meetings. The committee questioned Sir Henry Thornton, President of the Canadian National Railway, on the railwayâs performance given a poor crop year and economic recession in the prior year. The committee also sought information on everything from passenger services to the companyâs pension arrangements. The book provides insight into the detailed operations and challenges of a major North American railway in the early years of the great depression. The insights provided by the author are significant to the history of both the railway and of Canadian economic history.
