The Unemployment Insurance Commission(UIC) was created in 1940 with the passage of the Unemployment Insurance Act and was responsible for the operation and administration of the Unemployment Insurance Act and Program. The UIC was replaced in 1977 by the Canada Employment and Immigration Commission. The Canada Employment and Immigration Commission's responsibilities were expanded to include manpower, immigration and employment services, in addition to Unemployment Insurance. In 1993, the immigration component was moved to a newly created Department of Citizenship and Immigration, and the human resources and social programs from five other departments were combined under enabling legislation to create the department of Human Resources Development Canada(HRDC). The Canada Employment and Immigration Commission was replaced by the Canada Employment Insurance Commission, which became part of HRDC. 2, record 2, English, - Canada%20Employment%20Insurance%20Commission

La Commission de l'assurance-chômage (CAC) a été créée en 1940 par l'adoption de la Loi sur l'assurance-chômage et était responsable du fonctionnement et de l'application de la Loi sur l'assurance-chômage et du programme correspondant. La CAC a été remplacée en 1977 par la Commission de l'emploi et de l'immigration du Canada. Les responsabilités de la Commission de l'emploi et de l'immigration du Canada ont été élargies pour inclure les services de main-d'œuvre, d'immigration et d'emploi, en plus de l'assurance-chômage. En 1993, la composante immigration a été transférée au ministère nouvellement créé de la Citoyenneté et de l'Immigration, et les ressources humaines et les programmes sociaux de cinq autres ministères ont été combinés en vertu d'une loi habilitante pour créer le ministère du Développement des ressources humaines Canada (DRHC). La Commission de l'emploi et de l'immigration du Canada a été remplacée par la Commission de l'assurance-emploi du Canada, qui est devenue une composante de DRHC. 2, record 2, French, - Commission%20de%20l%27assurance%2Demploi%20du%20Canada
