FOREWORD

The first draft of this index was compiled by Mr. Murray
A. Lapin, who very kindly made it available for revision and
publication. It has since been edited and in some respects
expanded in the Public Archives by Mr. J. S. Patrick, of the
Publications Division. The most important change-and
one which we feel will add greatly to the ease and speed
with which the index can be used-was the addition to the
entries of the name of the person who made each specific
statement.

The compilation of this index was first suggested to
Mr. Lapin by Prof. F. R. Scott, of the Faculty of Law,
McGill University. At my request Prof. Scott has contributed
a brief introduction explaining the nature and
continuing importance of the memorable debates of 1865.

INTRODUCTION

The published material relating to the drafting and
adoption of the Canadian Constitution is regrettably meagre.
Pope’s Confederation Documents (1895) contains nothing
on the proceedings of the Charlottetown Conference; the
minutes, in barest outline, of the proceedings of the Quebec
and London Conferences; and a few notes on the discussions
at these meetings, “obviously deficient, and in places, fragmentary”,
as Pope tells us, taken by Colonel Bernard, the
Executive Secretary. The Canadian Historical Review published
in 1920 an additional report on the Quebec Conference,
drawn from the personal notes of the Hon. A. A. Macdonald,
and edited by Dr. A. G. Doughty. Two of the Fathers of
Confederation, both from Prince Edward Island, compiled
books of speeches delivered by leading delegates to the
Charlottetown and Quebec Conferences, as they travelled
from city to city arousing public opinion in favour of Union:
one of these volumes, The Union of the British Provinces,
by the Hon. E. Whelan, appeared in 1865, and the other,
Col. J. H. Gray’s Confederation of Canada, in 1872. Neither
adds much to our knowledge of the details of the scheme or
the course of the inner negotiations. In particular there
is an almost total dearth of evidence as to how the 69 Resolutions
adopted at the London Conference in 1866 became the
147 articles of the B.N.A. Act of 1867. Pope gives us the
1st, 3rd, 4th and final draughts of the Bill, which the legal
draughtsmen worked over with the delegates, but this
revision and rearrangement of the material in the Resolutions
was accomplished in private sessions of which we have no
record. The student of Canadian federalism has not the aid
of travaux préparatoires nearly as extensive as those available
to students of the American and Australian constitutions.

[Page 6]

For this reason the Confederation Debates are all the more
valuable as a source of constitutional ideas. This volume,
which was published in both English and French, contains
the official Hansard report of the debates on the Quebec
Resolutions that took place in the Legislative Council and
Legislative Assembly of the old Province of Canada in
February and March, 1865. The Quebec Conference had
met in October, 1864, and had drawn up a scheme of government
in 72 Resolutions which were agreed to by the five
colonies represented, namely Canada, Nova Scotia, New
Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland. It
had been decided that “The sanction of the Imperial and
Local Parliaments shall be sought for the Union of the
Provinces, on the principles adopted by the Conference”
(Resolution 70). It was in fulfilment of this undertaking
that the Resolutions were put before the Parliament of Canada.
It was hoped that, since each delegation at Quebec had
contained representatives from opposition parties as well as
from governments, there would be no difficulty in securing
the approval of all five legislatures before proceeding to
London for the enactment of the necessary Imperial statute
to give the political agreement the force of law. The suggestion
of a referendum to the people had been ruled out at
Quebec and, as these debates show, was firmly resisted by
Macdonald and his colleagues. British North America had
accepted very little of the direct democracy which prevailed
south of the border, and worked out its constitutional changes
by normal parliamentary processes.

As it turned out, Prince Edward Island was the only
other province which dared to seek the approval of its
Legislature for the Quebec scheme, and the result there was
a decisive defeat for the plan in March, 1865. The debates
in the Island Parliament might thus also be called Confederation
Debates, but they have never had separate publication
and cannot compare in importance with their Canadian
counterpart. In the Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and

[Page 7]

Newfoundland Legislatures, the Resolutions were not introduced
because of their certain rejection, though the general
idea of Confederation was hotly debated at different times
both in the Parliaments and on the hustings. A full collection
of Confederation documents would have to include what was
said about the Union in the Maritime Legislatures, and later
in the Imperial Parliament, as well as in the Parliament of
the Province of Canada, but the student must still turn to
the various parliamentary Journals and Hansards if he
wishes to reach this material. Meanwhile the Confederation
Debates of Canada remain the only complete and thorough
presentation and analysis of the plan for federal union as
it had evolved up to the termination of the Quebec Conference.

The form of these debates differs from those that take
place in an ordinary session of Parliament devoted to the
enactment of Bills. The Quebec Resolutions were not in the
form of a Bill. They were, as their name implies, a series of
Resolutions containing the principles on which the new
constitution was to be based and an allocation of legislative
powers as between the central and local legislatures. The
Parliament of Canada could not enact them as law, nor could
all the provinces acting together; that constituent function
was exclusively in the hands of the Imperial Parliament at
Westminster. Individual British colonies in North America
might have changed their own constitutions, in accordance
with their own special laws or, after 1865, under the provisions
of the Colonial Laws Validity Act, but they could not unite
to form a single government out of many without invoking
the sovereignty of England. In this respect their position
differed radically from that of the American colonies at the
time of the drafting of the American Constitution. These
colonies had thrown off the Imperial yoke, and had become
sovereign states. The North American colonies of the
1860’s were still within, and desirous of remaining within,
the Imperial orbit, and did not possess independent statehood
or the sovereignty that accompanies it. Thus the legislative

[Page 8]

approval sought in Canada was but a stage in the process
of making the constitution, looking to a further and final
stage in London. The law of the Canadian Constitution
derives from Imperial enactment, not from provincial consent.

The Debates were therefore on the single question of
approval or disapproval of a motion “That an humble
Address be presented to Her Majesty, praying that She may
be graciously pleased to cause a measure to be submitted to
the Imperial Parliament for the purpose of uniting the
Colonies of Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland,
and Prince Edward Island, in one Government,
with provisions based on the following Resolutions, which
were adopted at a Conference of Delegates from the said
Colonies, held at the city of Quebec, on the 10th of October,
1864.” There were no three readings, as there would have
been on a Bill, so in order to facilitate freedom of debate in
the Assembly the rule prohibiting a member from speaking
more than once when the Speaker was in the chair was
suspended, and discussion proceeded as though the House
were in Committee of the Whole. This explains why some
individuals will be found speaking several times. The
Resolutions were all introduced together and not individually,
and the Government took the stand that it could not accept
any amendments, since if passed they would have to be
ratified by the other parties to the arrangement. In this
sense the Resolutions were considered as a compact or treaty.
“If each province undertook to change the details of the
scheme, there would be no end to the discussions and conferences
which would have to be held”, said Macdonald
(p. 16). He was of course speaking the language of politics
and not of law, since no treaty-making power was possessed
by colonial governments at that time. A number of amendments
were in fact moved, mostly for the purpose of delaying
the adoption of the Resolutions until after reference to the
electorate, but they were all ruled out of order or negatived.
The only amendments having to do with substantive pro-

[Page 9]

posals related to the constitution of the Upper House. On
March 7th Macdonald, to speed up the debates, moved
“the previous question”, and further amendments were
stopped until the main motion was adopted.

The whole period of the debate covered 20 days in the
Legislative Council and 40 in the Assembly. Much of this
time was taken up with the personalities and irrelevancies
which seem to be an inevitable price that must be paid for
freedom of discussion in democratic assemblies. The main
constitutional issues, however, were dealt with, often at
length, as a reference to the subject-headings of this Index
will indicate. In the leading speeches of Macdonald, Cartier,
Galt, Brown, and other Fathers of Confederation, as well as
in the acute criticisms by opponents of the scheme such as
A. A. Dorion and Dunkin, are to be found many illuminating
passages upon the nature of the new constitution, the dangers
it faced, and the purposes it was expected to serve. While
it must be remembered that the Quebec Resolutions did not
become the basis of the British North America Act, but
were replaced by the London Resolutions of 1866, there
was so much similarity on so many points in the two sets
that the Confederations Debates retain their historical value
as the most important pronouncements about Canadian
federalism ever made by the men who chiefly created it.

On the value and weight to be given to these Debates
opinions will differ. Like all other forms of evidence, they
must be used judiciously and scrutinized carefully. Much
that was said was aimed at scoring political victories rather
than at elucidation of doubtful constitutional provisions.
Yet evidence they are, and very important evidence, of what
leading men of the time thought, felt, hoped and feared about
Confederation. Canadian courts, following the strict rule
of English courts, tend to exclude all reference to parliamentary
debates when interpreting statutes, thus differing
in their practice from courts of Civil Law jurisdictions which
permit such reference, and thus depriving themselves also of

[Page 10]

sources of truth available to the historian. This approach to
the problem of interpretation becomes all the more unfortunate
when the development of the Canadian Constitution
by the courts has so clearly led away from the unitary concepts
stressed by the Fathers towards a decentralized federalism
primarily concerned (except in time of “emergency”)
with safeguards for provincial autonomy. Such a trend in
judicial law-making would have been impossible among
judges familiar with the life and thought of the Confederation
epoch. For in these Debates we do at least sense the climate
and environment of the constitution; we feel the strength of
the movements of opinion that produced the Union, and can
understand the reasons why the principle of federal residuary
powers was accepted and its opposite rejected. Constitutional
provisions cease to be mere words on a page and
become politically alive when viewed in this context. It
is particularly important to refer to these sources at a time
like the present, when the basic concepts of federalism are
.being considered afresh in an endeavour to find an appropriate
amending procedure for Canada. While a slavish
adherence to ancient ideas is undesirable and impossible, it
still remains true, as Burke once pointed out, that changes
in a constitution are most likely to be permanent when they
are in the style and pattern of the original building.

The Index that follows is the first of its kind ever prepared.
It is hoped that its publication will encourage a
wider use of the Debates for reference and research purposes,
and will stimulate further study of the character of Canadian
federalism as it emerged during the creative days when the
present Canada was formed.
