Article 1: The National Policy & Maritime Industrialization

The paper has been framed and defined for the purpose and objective of Canadian National Policy and the level of industrialization that has become prevalent in the area of Maritime. Here we shall discuss about the kind of changes that have prevailed in the development and establishment of the place we now call Canada and shall aim to decipher the kind of casualties that were associated with the national policy of the country and how did it impact the development and surrounding economy of Canada at the time.
