The Quebec Conference

The Quebec Conference

                It has been over a month later, now the 16 delegates from Province of Canada, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island have gotten together to figure out the root problems in Canada. Newfoundland sent two observers to supervise the conference and to make sure no drastic changes were taking place. The maritime colonies were aiming more towards having a stronger provincial government, it is to my understanding that they didn’t want to lose their cultural backgrounds. In the end, the delegates agreed to compromise that they will allow a strong provincial government as well as a strong federal government. The delegates came to the idea of a lower house, the House of Commons. There was a proposal for the government’s structure which was written out into the seventy-two resolutions near the end of the conference. The conference concluded on October 27^th. I believe the conference was successful but the province of Canada, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia are aiming for autonomy with the British Empire.
