The Committee on Industry and Trade, also known as the Balfour Report because it was chaired by the industrialist Arthur Balfour, was a committee set up to discover the reasons for the United Kingdom's economic decline since the Great War. It sat from 1924 to 1928.

The Final Report in 1929 concluded that what was needed was the rationalisation of Britain's staple industries and the losses to employers due to this remedied by development of newer industries. Also, the market had failed to bring about rationalisation due to the rigidities in Britain's economic system. The Report appeared "in six volumes, contained a searching examination of the country's industrial competitiveness and made recommendations concerning the UK's future ability to compete in overseas markets".

The Balfour Report of 1926 granted Canada full legal autonomy from British Parliament, establishing it as a self-governing dominion within the British Commonwealth. This marked a significant step towards Canada's independence and sovereignty as a nation.

What was the Balfour Report about?

The Balfour Report, from the 1926 Imperial Conference, declared the United Kingdom and its Dominions "autonomous communities within the British Empire, equal in status...and freely associated as members of the British Commonwealth of Nations," which replaced the principle of hierarchal relationships. Based mainly on the British Commonwealth's acceptance of the principles underpinning the autonomy of the self-governing Dominions, this document represented an important step in Canada's path to complete autonomy. The law affirming these principles was the 1931 Statute of Westminister, which Canada adopted in the same year.

What was the Balfour Declaration and how did give Canada more independence?

This is the Balfour declaration of 1926 not, perhaps better known internationally, the Balfour declaration of 1917 (from the same individual) which related to Palestine. The 1926 declaration involved recognition, or granting, perhaps depending on point of view, of new degrees of autonomy for Canada. See Wikipedia articles below for details on the declaration and the implications of dominion status. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balfour_Declaration_1926 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion

When was Queen Elizabeth the ruler of Canada?

The current Queen was never the ruler of Canada. Even the slightest such comment from her would have created a Constitutional Crisis particularly after the Balfour Declaration of 1926. If the Queen or Britain wanted anything from Canada they would do so through their Ambassador called a High Commissioner.The Governor General in Canada does not answer to QEII, or any Queen other than the ceremonial one on Canadian paper. The Governor General fulfills a ceremonial role for the Canadian People and our elected representatives via the Prime Minister of Canada. Though many do long for the days when we answered to Britain, our political references to the Queen and Royal stations are ceremonial only. Canada is independent from Britain politically.
