National Resources Mobilization Act

One of the many promises that Prime Minister

Mackenzie King had promised was that when

Canada declared war in 1939, there would be no conscription. Several Canadians felt as though little was being done with the war effort, so they had a requisition that the Canadian government should be compelled to do more. Thus the National Resources Mobilization Act was made known by Mackenzie King's government. The NRMA subsidized the government aptitude to snag the resources of the nation. That was prosperous in pleasing Canadian citizens, but more importantly, the act authorized conscription, which in this case, was of an even more ameliorating disclosure.
