My professional advisors and I were assisted by research assistants employed for 

 a few months each; these were Mr. LJ. Alexander, Miss D.P. Dupont, Mr. V.A. 

 Fletcher. Miss J. A. Friesen, Mr. T, Ix'ailem, Mr. R. Masters and Miss K.A. 

 Sutclitre. 



A Commission such as this depends heavily on its adminstrative and support staff 

 to organize heanngs, maintain communications with large numbers of people, keep 

 diKuments in order and deal with all the problems of preparing and publishing 

 reports. Mrs. L.J. Murdoch, Mrs. M. Parkm and Miss J.A. Herchuk attended to 

 these matters. 



Three people played particularly important roles in this inquiry, having partici- 

 pated in virtually all aspects of the Commission's work. Miss H.J. Wilson took 

 direct resp<:)nsibility for managing the Commission's financial and administrative 

 affairs, organizing the public hearings and much more. Mr. G.K. Bowden directed 

 the Commission's internal research and ccx)rdinated the work of our professional 

 advisors. And Mr. R.S. Campbell served as my legal counsel at public heanngs and 

 assisted broadly with advice on the matters dealt with in this report. 



I must, of course, accept full resp)onsibility for the content of this report. But 

 whatever its deficiencies, it has benefited from the energetic and dedicated team that 

 has assisted me by compiling information, criticizing my ideas, suggesting alterna- 

 tives and lightening my administrative distractions.
