[00:00.00]After much complicated debate

[00:02.18]at another convention in Quebec City

[00:05.13]that same year, the delegates

[00:07.21]submitted a draft of an agreement

[00:08.96]for the formation of

[00:10.82]the Dominion 1 of Canada.

[00:12.68]The bulk of the work had been

[00:15.20]done by a group of men

[00:16.62]of seemingly high  virtue 2,

[00:18.26]who became known in history

[00:20.45]as “the Fathers of Confederation”. 

[00:23.29]United Canada was divided into

[00:26.79]the provinces of Ontario and Quebec.

[00:29.63]Some allowances were given

[00:32.92]to Quebec because it was

[00:34.56]a predominantly French speaking

[00:35.98]Catholic province and had

[00:37.95]special needs, unlike other provinces.

[00:40.25]The colony of Nova Scotia

[00:43.53]was divided into Nova Scotia

[00:45.94]and New Brunswick.

[00:48.23]These four provinces formed

[00:50.42]the original new nation.

[00:52.06]A flexible approach, in later years,

[00:55.89]persuaded other colonies to join.

[00:58.41]A federal system, with powers

[01:02.79]distributed between the central

[01:04.42]and provincial 3 governments, was created.

[01:06.72]The provinces were assigned powers

[01:10.23]to have their own governments

[01:11.98]to deal with more local

[01:13.40]or provincial issues.

[01:15.59]The federal system would promote

[01:18.54]harmony among provinces, with

[01:20.95]different perspectives on nationhood.

[01:23.24]This was a compromise, so that

[01:26.31]the bigger provinces of Ontario

[01:28.71]and Quebec wouldn’t completely

[01:31.01]dominate the smaller provinces.

[01:32.87]The country was to be called

[01:35.82]the Dominion of Canada, but

[01:37.79]would still remain loyal

[01:39.43]to Britain as a member

[01:40.75]of the British Empire.

[01:42.39]The new legislation that

[01:45.23]created Canada was a British act

[01:47.86]of Parliament called

[01:49.72]“The British North America Acts of 1867”.

[01:54.75]Canada officially became a nation

[01:57.49] on July 1st, 1867.

[02:00.88]This would be the anniversary occasion

[02:04.05]each year, for joyous 4 celebration

[02:06.35]of a national holiday

[02:08.32]commemorating the birth of Canada
