The first set of files detail the setting up of a Minister's office. Especially significant are files of memoranda from the Minister to staff, and to the Deputy Ministers heading the two branches of Allan J. MacEachen's ministry. Also, there are several files here on the Privy Council, a reflection perhaps of his time as Acting President of the Privy Council. Next come clusters of files immigration (reports and policy), and on Manpower Training. There are also notes and press releases on major policy decisions by MacEachen's office, as well as memoranda from staffers, especially from Tom Van Dusen. Various manuscript drafts of the department's annual report for 1968-1968, with draft versions, demonstrating how such documents were created. There is a speech block here, with MacEachen's speeches, at times various drafts of speeches, and at times with accompanying press releases and background information material. Finally, there are files on the Federal-Provincial Constitutional Conference and its various sittings in 1968-1969.

The material in this sub-series helps elucidate the major directions of the policies and programs MacEachen followed in the spheres both of immigration and labour, and how the two domains were perceived as connected.

Arrangement note:

This sub-series has been arranged by the archivist from material which was originally boxed with the coded files of this series, and in loose clusters in other locations in the fonds. The material chronologically and thematically accords with MacEachen's tenure of the Manpower and Immigration portfolio.
