- Order-in-Council P.C. 1911-1324 was a proposed one-year prohibition of black immigrants entering Canada because, according to the order-in-council, “the Negro race” was “unsuitable to the climate and requirements of Canada.” It was tabled on June 2, 1911, by the Minister of the Interior, Frank Oliver, following mounting pressure from white prairie farmers who were discontented with an influx in the immigration of black farmers from the United States. Although it was approved by the Governor General in Council on August 12, it was never officially invoked or added to the Immigration Act, likely because the government—led by Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier—was hesitant to alienate black voters ahead of the 1911 federal election. It was repealed by Order-in-Council P.C. 1911–2378 on October 5. Although Order-in-Council P.C. 1911-1324 was not put into effect, it is often cited as an instance of institutional racism in Canada.
