The one essential recognized by the lFath- ere of Confederation to draw the Provinces into this great union and weld them together, _was transpor- tatiou. Canadians are perfectly well aware that the Dominion of Can- ada owes its existence mainly to a project which had its inception in the Maritime Provinces. It was n. movement to unite these three Provinces iuto one that prompted the leading statesmen of Ontario and Quebec to suggest the amalga- mation of all the ‘Provinces into one confederated nation, andthe first Conference to consider the proposition was held in this Pro- vincial Bullillng onseptaamber 1st. 1.864, u. Tablet being erected ‘liere- in to commemorate the fiftieth an- niversary of the event. Whatever muy have been the ‘benefits that the people of the Maritime Pro vinces expected to enjoy from a union of the three Provinces, it is evident that they anticipated very little from Confederation. Nova Seotia did not want it. but agreed to- go in after considerable pres- sure by the ‘imperial authorities on the ground that it would great- ly strengthen the Empire. in New Brunswick a general election was fough-t on the issue, which turned it down. Pressure similar to that adopted in the case of ‘Nova Scotia was then brought to ‘bear on New Brunswick, with the result that a second election was held and the proposal to Join Confederation ac- cepted. Prince Edward ‘Island first flatly refused to have any- thing to do with the proposal. In return for the surrender of their rights and privileges as 1n- depeudent self-governing colonies and the pooling of thdir revenues from their customs and excise and other resources, these Provinces were to receive o. subsidy from the Dominion Government and ‘the Dominion would take over the Pro- vincial debts. The principal in- ducemen in the Pact. however. was the undertak- ing by the ‘new Dominion to con- struct a railway from ‘Halifax to Montreal to link up the Maritime Provinces with Upper Canada, in order to provide communication, and thereby foster and promote in- tor-provincial trade. In fact, it was not until a guarantee was given that this railway would ‘be con- structed that Nova Scotia and New Brunswick consented to enter Con- federation. Confederation was hardly an sbcoinplished fact he- fore Nova Scotia and New Bruns- wick discovered that they had tirade e rather poor bargain. Nova Scotia endeavored tlrobtain a re- vision of the terms upon which they had entered the Pact. other- wise they decided to withdraw. While this request was refused by the ‘imperial Government, the Do- minion Government were instruct- ed that if the'terms entered into were found to work to the disad- vantage of ‘Nova. Scotia that the terms should be modified as re- gards taxation, trade and fisheries. New Brunswick followed suit, but did not meet with the same euc- cess as Nova Scotia; though I be- lieve some concessions were made. in due course the lntercolonlsl Railway was ‘built with headquart- ers at Monctou. This Railway was neverintended to ‘be operated as a commercial proposition. in fact, It usually produced a deficit from year to year, which was taken csre of out of the general revvenus of the Dominion. owing to the fact that the principal reason for its ex- istence was to provide means of transportation between the Mari- time Proviuces and the rest of Confederation garded as a commercial undertak- ing at all. Then later on. as a re- sult of conditions that developed, the Dominion Government was compelled to take on other lines of railway in Central’ and‘ Western Cmnada, which resulted in the pre- sent Canedisn -Nationsl Railway system, into which the Intercoion- ial was absorbed.‘ The whole‘ Rail- way system being handed ever to a Board of ‘Railway Management with a view of operating the whole system on a commercial ‘basis. As south of Damalcue and that the a result, freight rates lathe Mari- miimonwn and Montreal vwiidbing "uncertain position" at Aiepho is time Provinces were greatly in- s the Maritime Provinces consented to come into the Confederation partnership at all, was that aile- quate facilities for transportation should be provided at reasonaibie cial trade and commerce might be carried on. The freight rates iii present imposed render this linpos- sibie, and therefore the Confedera- tion agreement has not been faith- fully iived up to with the Maritime partners. At the time of ‘Confed- eration all the Provinces which en- tered it were independent, self- Boiverning colonies and controlled their, own natural resources, their mines, fisheries and forest wealth. All these except the see fisheries, each has retained.
