This Committee was charged with investigating and reporting on the pros and cons of unifying administration and services of eleven municipalities (Burnaby, Coquitlam, Fraser Mills, New Westminster, North Vancouver, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Richmond, Vancouver, West Vancouver) in the Greater Vancouver area.

The records consist of Ray's files as Chairman of the MJC, a copy of the Committee's final report, correspondence, some minutes, briefs to the Minister and to the MJC, membership lists, speeches and source material for speeches.
