National Committee on Weeds Evolution and Functions
The National Committee on Weeds traces its origins to 1929 when the Associate Committee on Weed Control was formed by the National Research Council. It evolved through reorganizations and name changes, becoming the National Weed Committee by 1942 and later the National Advisory Committee on Agricultural Services. It coordinates weed research, legislation review, and public education across provinces with support from the Dominion Department of Agriculture and provincial institutions.
