This book analyzes the methods employed in Canada to carry out clothing contracts for government departments like the military, post office, and mounted police. It provides a thorough examination of the role of sub-contracting and how it impacted working conditions. The author argues that this system led to the exploitation of workers, particularly women and girls, who were often paid poverty wages and forced to work long hours in unsanitary conditions. The report highlights the lack of proper inspection and enforcement of labour laws, which allowed these abuses to continue. The book contributes to our understanding of labour practices and social conditions in late 19th-century Canada. It offers valuable insights into the challenges faced by workers in the garment industry and the need for government intervention to protect their rights. The author's findings have significant implications for contemporary debates about labour rights and the role of government in ensuring fair and equitable working conditions.
