These files are from the period 1970-1974, Allan J. MacEachen's second tenure of the office of President of the Privy Council. This sub-series deals with appointments, staff attendance, office space and equipment and supplies. There is a valuable memoranda run from staffers William MacEachern, Tom Van Dusen and Dr. R. Jackson. Other files touch on House of Commons operations, statements, House business and Parliamentary issues, on bills before Parliament and on Federal-Provincial relations. There are a number of subject files on the War Measures Act, Maritime Provinces and the very significant Study of the Standing Committee System, as well thematic files on key issues of that time, including Electoral Boundaries and Redistribution, Election Expenses and Conflict of Interest. There are some Personal files, including the Pearson and Urquhart funerals, MacEachen's slander case against the Cape Breton Post and the Testimonial Dinner in Halifax in 1973. The sub-series closes out with MacEachen's Speeches and Press material, notably the Minister's Column, press releases and statements.

Arrangement note:

These files were found in loose clusters, either in boxes filled with unidentified Privy Council material or in box runs of other series in this fonds. The files seem to have originally been managed in the Minister's office. These files were assembled by the archivist out of a disordered bits and pieces around the edges of the material found in boxes at the edges of the files in sub-series 1 and sub-series 3 of this series. The organizational principles for the archivist in arranging this sub-series were chronology and content - that which fit the time period and was of a nature in accord with the office which MacEachen held at that time.
