Leonard Marsh
Leonard Marsh was the director of a social research programme at McGill University, when appointed director of the Committee on Post-War Reconstruction in 1941. In March 1943, the Report on Social Security in Canada was published with Marsh as its principal author.
Marsh argued that all Canadians “found work, remained healthy, and were properly fed, housed, and educated.” To achieve these goals it urged that the state take an active role in managing the economy and in providing minimum levels of social security.
