This is Volume III of the "Report of the Canadian Pacific Railway Royal Commission," containing the Commission's conclusions. The Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) was a crucial project for the nascent Dominion of Canada, promising to link the country from coast to coast. However, its construction and operation were fraught with political and economic controversy.
This Royal Commission was established to investigate various aspects of the CPR, including its financial dealings, operational practices, and adherence to its original mandate. The Commission's findings offer a detailed look into the challenges and complexities of building and regulating a national railway in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This volume provides invaluable insight into a pivotal period in Canadian history, shedding light on the relationship between government, business, and infrastructure development.
