Show detail Hide detail

The sub-series consists of various documents from Allan Rock's time as Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada that do not correspond to any other separate sub-series in this fonds. This sub-series contains a considerable amount of material on the 1995 Referendum in Québec Province, as well as records related to the constitutional discussion that followed at the federal level within the Chrétien government. Allan Rock was also a member of the Task Force on Unity, which means several documents within this sub-series are related to his work within that federal ministers' working group. There are also a significant number of records about gun control policies in Canada. The sub-series also contains detailed files on various topics of interest that Allan Rock worked on as Minister of Justice, such as the Task Force on National Unity, the Ministry of Justice's Budgets, Indigenous policies, the Clarity Bill, Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide, Guy Bertrand's legal cases and G-3 meetings. Compilations of news clippings created by the Minister's Office and covering Allan Rock's work as Minister of Justice can also be found in this sub-series.

Records consist of, but are not limited to, correspondence, memoranda, draft letters, briefing notes, handwritten notes from the minister, speeches, news releases, news clippings, articles, caricatures, government publications and reports, agendas and various reference documents.

Arrangement note:

The general files of the Minister of Justice's Office were artificially created by the donor in the process of sending them to Library and Archives Canada. A file listing describing the file's title was created for each box. Those listings have been kept within the Minister's Office General file and they are labelled as [General Files Listing]. The donor arrangement the content of the boxes per subject. Some files were jointed together in folders under a main subject. In those cases, the archivist preserved the original arrangement.
