Administrative history
Nova Scotia Minister’s Committee on Occupational Health and Safety was created by Hon. David Nantes, Minister of Labour and Manpower, in November 1983 to review recommendations relating to occupational health and safety contained in the report of the Select Committee of the Legislature on Workers’ Compensation and advise on this forthcoming legislation. Dr. Thomas J. McKeough, a former Minister of Labour, was appointed chairperson with Dannie MacDonald, Rick Clarke, Barry Wark, and Leslie White as co-committee members. The Committee studied safety and health legislation in other jurisdictions, received written submissions (briefs) from stakeholders and the interested public, and held public hearings in Amherst, Yarmouth, New Glasgow, Sydney, and Halifax from December 5, 1983 to January 24, 1984. The Committee’s final report was presented to the Minister in October 1984 and the Committee disbanded.
