changes ; that twenty yearn practical
working of the act has developed much
faction bet.'.. the Federal avid Pro
vioeial Governments and Legislatures,
has disclosed grave omissions is the pro-
visions of the Ad, and his show. (when
the leaguage of the Act MOW to be ju
diciuuely interpreted) that in many re
specie what was the eommun understand-
ing and intention had not been express-
ed, and that importa :t pnvisiuss in the
Act are obscure as to their true intent
and meaning ; and whereas the preserva-
tion of Provincial autonomy is essential
to the future well being of Canada ; and
if such autonomy is to be maintained, it
has become apparent that the Constitu-
tional Act must be revised and amended;
therefor* the representatives and dele-
gates of the prosiness of Ontario, Que-
bec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and
Manitoba, duly accredited by their re-
spective Government., and in confer
once assembled, believing that they ex-
press the views and wishes of the people
of Canada, agree upon the following re-
wlutioee as the basis upon which the
Act should be amended, subject to the
approval of the several Provincial Leg..-
lature&
1. That by the British North America
Act exclusive authorityis expressively
given to the ProvinciaLegislatures in
relation to subjects enumerated in the
92nd section of the Act ; that a previous
section of the Act reserves to the Federal
Government the legal power of disallow-
ance my be exercised so as to give to
the Federal Government arbritrtry con•
trol over legislation a the provinces
within their own sphere ; and that the
Act should be emended by laking away
this power al di.allowtng Provincial
4itatutes, leaving to the people of each
province, through their representatives
in the Provincial Legislature, the free
exercise of their esMwsive right of
lertelation on the s.bjeds assigned to
them. 'object on!) to diiallowance by
Her M. jetty in Co'tleil as before Con-
feoerati. n ; the power of disallowance to
be exercised in regard to 0•e Proetuces
upon the same principles as the risme is
etrreived in the case 1.1 Federal Acts.
2. That it is important to the just
cperation of our Federal rystem, as well
that II • Federal l'arliaoieat should net
Lame to exercise powers belonging ex-
clusively to the Provincial Legislatures,
as that a Provincial Legislature should
not assume to exercise powers beknging
exclusively to the Federal and Provin-
cial Governments for promptly obtaining
a jolicial determioat•o:i respecting the
validity of Statutes .1 both the Federal
Parliament and Provincial Legislatures ;
that Constitutional pmvision should be
made for obtaining such determination
before, as well as after, a Statute has
been acted upon ; and that soy decision
* hound be subject to appeal as in other
eases, in order that the adjudication msy
be boat
3, That it ie in the public interest,
with a view to avoiding uncertainty,
litigation and expels, that the eon-
e titutionality of Federal or Provincial
Statutes should not be open to question
by private litigant., except within a 1imo
lied time (sty two years, from the pass-
ing thereof; that tbereafter Ouch Con-
an ntivnelil1 ebou!d otls h. ,,,aytiotted

ran or Provincial ; that any enactment
derided, after the !epee of the limited
time, to be o.00nstitetiowel should, for
all purposes other than the mere pro-
ouuscing til the decision, be trusted as if
originally enacted by the Legislature or
Parliament which bad ;C:,tuictloa to
llact the tame, end se betne subj»ct to
repeal or amendment by such Legislature
OT Parliameul.
4. That a leading purpose of the Sea -
en was to protect the intonate of the
respective provinces as such ; that a
Senate to which the appointments ars
made by the Federal Ilovernmest, sod
for life off oda no adequate security to
the provinces; and that, In case no other
ssrly remedy is provided, the British
North America Act should be so amend-
ed as to limit the term for which Senat-
ors h•d•t fifties, end to give the choice, as
by +salaried its tree mishandles M be
aseordeug to the Ii toutiva •.d pmelline
lie herein u/eetiuoed.
1. That the Federal authorities e0a-
slree the BrtUah Numb Amens Ast as
giving to the Federal Parliament the
power 4 wNbdrswiag limn permission
luriedtctwu local works snowed withal
any proe►uee, lied though built to past

province or the mum rias thieved;
and of so s ithdrewiug "doh local works
(without compeeassioe) by merely de
glaring the same to be for the emend
advantage el Oieaia or ler the ethos -
tags of two or more provisoes, whether
that is ur is nut the law character of
seek works within the weenie' gad in-
tention of the Act ; lest it was not the
iN.etiun that local works should be on
w ithdrawn without the ouucurrenee 4
the provincial legalature, to that the
power of the Federal Parliament should
apply to any other except "such works
as shall, although lyiug wildly within
any province, be specially declared by
the Acts authorising them, to be for the
general advaetags," as expressly mes-
tiooed in section 29, sube.ctttn 11, of
the Resolutions of the Qeebso Confer-
e nce of 1864, and dist the Act should
tae amuoded aoourdinrly,
7. That then seism in each Province
the requisite machinery for preparing
✓ oters' lists and revising the same fur
elections to the Provincial Assembly ;
that, without any detriment to either
Federal or Prot penal interests, the lista
so prepared were used fur twenty years
at all Federal elections, under the *s-
prees terms of the British North Ameri-
ca Act and of subsequent statutes of the
Federal Parliament ; that the prepara-
tion of separate voters luta for Federal
elections is cumbrous and confusing, •ad
involves great low of time and needless
expense to ail oouoeroed therein ; and
that in the opinion of this conference
the British North America Act should
be so amended as to provide that, at all
elections to the Federal Parlament, in
any provtuce, the qutlification and luta
of electors should be the same as for the
Legislative Assembly of the Province.
8. That the intention of the British
North America Act and of the several
Proviuoss thereby confederated was.that
the Provindal authorities should have
the power of app.inting stipendiary,
police and other magistrates, and all
officers who are under the jurisdiction
of the Provincial Legislatures : that ever
since confederation alt such appoint-
ments have accordingly been made by
provincial authority ; that it is just and
right in the general interest that the
provioess should keys this power ; that
a question bas been mimed in some of
the provincial courts M io whether, by
the technical effect of the Act, such
power exists , and that, to remove all
doubt on w important • matter, an
amendment of the Act should be obtain-
ed, expressly declaring that the jurisdic-
tion to make such appoinments does be-
long to the provinces.
9. That, according to the intention of
the British North America Act and its
promoters. the provinces are entitled to
all fees p.id or payable on legal proceed-
ings in the provincial courts ; that the
provinces accordingly have alwaya•pnpoy-
ed or dealt with the revenue therefrom :
I that acoordinit to a recent decision of
i
Her Ma;ssty a Privy Council, the Pro-
vin:tal Leetsleturee cannot legislate as to
such fees or apply the revenue to pro-
yineis! purposes ; end that the Act
*bottle. !:e w smeoded as to espesesly
giye this constitutional right.
.10. Teat by the British North All:
ca Act the Provincial Legislatures have
exclusive jurisdiction to make laws in
relation to the administration of Justice,
including the constitution, and ^rtnnl-
ration of Provincial Courts, both of
civil and criminal jurisdiction ; that a
judicial opinion has been expressed that
• Lieutenant Governor bas the power of
issuing commisioos to hold Courts of
Assize and Nisi Primo Oyer and Ter-
miner, and General Gaol delivery, but
the right to do eo is considered to be so
open to question that, when it is deem-
ed necessary to hold such • Court, inde-
pendent commission* expressed in the
alms term* have, by arrangement be-
tween the Federal and Provincial Gov-
ernment* been issued by the Governor-
General and the Lieutenant -Governor ;
that it is expedient that all doubt
should be removed, and the contrivance
;.:..o isomm:tstone rendered snnoceseary;
and that an amendment of the Aet
should expressly declare that the Limo
Governors have power to issue
such commissions, subject to Provip-,g.l
statute&
11. Lmt it has been found by the ex-
perience of all legislative bodies to be
necessary that they should possess cer-
tain privileges sod immunities to enable
them effectually to discharge the func-
tions entrusted to them ; that, for this
pe , Acts have been passed by the
Parliament of Caned*, and confirmed h
Imperial legislation, defining the privil-
eeg• es, immunities and powers of the two
Rooms and of the members thereof ;
that Acts in like manner have been pass-
ed by several provincial legislatures. de-
fining the privileges of their legislative

period, the Act receival from the Fed-

amended so es to make clear .red indis-
putable in its technioel effect, as well as
iia actual intestina, that all such lands
belong to the provisos in which they are

interest that each pi -veinal should be at
liberty to deal with the matter, tuoj.et
to any Federal law which may thereafter
be pealed ; that it is uoubtfel how far
under the present pros Cons of the Act,

mitting of sentences in whole or in part,
which belongs of right to the Crows,

things, "authorized and empowered, to
grant any °lender convicted of

Lieutenant Governor of a province to re-
vile, reprieve or pardon prisoners con-
victed of an offence against the taws of

mitting, in whole or In part. any sent-
ence, tine, forfeiture, penalty or punish-
ment i■ respect of any such offence ;
