A Luncheon on the Ship The Queen Victoria
• On board this ship, Canadian politicians who have worked out a plan for the union of all of the colonies try to convince the Maritime colonies to join in on CONFEDERATION
• Among them were George Brown, John A. Macdonald, George Etienne Cartier, Alexander Galt, and D’Arcy McGee.
• The idea of CONFEDERATION really takes hold of the Maritime politicians and they set aside their ideas for a MARITIME UNION.
• THEY DECIDE THEY WILL DISCUSS THE IDEA OF CONFEDERATION AGAIN IN QUEBEC.

The Quebec Conference
Quebec City: 7 delegates from New Brunswick, 7 from P.E.I, and 5 from Nova Scotia meet up with 12 delegates from Canada East and Canada West. Newfoundland also sends 2 officials.
One thing they all agree upon: unions must be strong! The central government must be stronger than the local ones.
THE SEVENTY TWO RESOLUTIONS: A document drawn up by the “fathers of confederation” that set out the plan for the new partnership of the colonies.

New Brunswick Waivers• LEONARD TILLY: The Premier of New Brunswick and a staunch
supporter of CONFEDERATION
• There were lots of people in N.B who opposed confederation. They are called ANTI-CONFEDERATIONISTS
• ON ELECTION DAY IN 1865 in NB THE ANTI-CONFEDERATIONISTS WON EASILY.
• WHY DID N.B GET CONVINCED OF CONFEDERATION???
• 1. Tilley was their Premier and supported it. • 2. The U.S ended reciprocity with N.B – This means that now goods
will be taxed. THEY NEED MONEY• 3. British government sends message encouraging confederation.• 4. The Fenians ATTACK NEW BRUNSWICK= They need buddies.
• ANOTHER FACTOR: An annual grant is promised to those who confederate. It is called a SUBSIDY and is given based on population.
