Certaines personnes aujourd'hui connues comme la militante amérindienne Mary Two-Axe Earley et l'historienne Micheline Dumont ont déposé des mémoires devant cette commission. La Commission a commencé le 16 février 1967 à l'initiative du premier ministre Lester B. Pearson. Des séances publiques ont été organisées l'année suivante pour collecter les commentaires du public et les intégrer lors de la formulation des recommandations. (fr)
  • The Royal Commission on the Status of Women was a Canadian Royal Commission that examined the status of women and recommended steps that might be taken by the federal government to ensure equal opportunities with men and women in all aspects of Canadian society. The Commission commenced on 16 February 1967 as an initiative of Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson. Public sessions were conducted the following year to accept public comment for the Commission to consider as it formulated its recommendations. Florence Bird was the Commission's chair. In Canada, 32 women’s groups had formed. As a result, Pearson created the Royal Commission on the Status of Women to ensure equality for women, and was the first Commission to be chaired by women. The Commission wrote reports to the government about issues regarding pay, child care, birth control and education. The government responded to these issues by creating the Status of Women in 1971 to inform the public about these issues. (en)
