High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Dominion Communist-Labor Total War Committee was a front organization of the then-banned Communist Party of Canada. The Committees originated as the "Tim Buck Plebiscite Committees" which were organized by the party in 1942 to campaign for a "yes" vote in the 1942 referendum on conscription (see Conscription Crisis of 1944). The Communist Party had been banned in May 1940 soon after the outset of World War II under the Defence of Canada Regulations of the War Measures Act. This was due to the party's antiwar policy. However, with the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, the Communists reversed their line on the war and became supportive of the Canadian war effort. The party backed total war mobilization and created the Tim Buck Plebiscite Committees as both a way for the still banned party to organize legally and as a reflection of the party's support for conscription in the 1942 national plebiscite.
