Abstract
Government efforts to force continuous production onto British Columbia shipyards during the Second World War challenged relations between state, private industry and organized labor. While workers wanted comparable hours, pay and wages to those obtaining in the United States, Canada's federal Minister of Labor imposed arbitrary orders-in-council to enforce continuous production that created discord and eventually the appointment of a federal royal commission. Continuous production did not achieve the promised results for the maximum production of ships.
