THE UNION OF THE PROVINCES. 39 A sufficient number of provinces, viz. Canada, New Bruns- wick and Nova Scotia, had by 1866 declared for union and in shat year delegates were appointed to settle the details and to determine the precise character of the Imperial Act neces- sary to carry the union into effect. The delegates met in London in December 1866, under the presidency of Hon. John A. Macdonald, and on the 7th February 1867 Lord Union Carnarvon introduced the Bill “for the Union of Canada, Nova 4 ok Scotia, and New Brunswick and the government thereof: and for purposes connected therewith.” The measure received the support of all parties and was read a third time in the House of Lords on the 26th of February. On the 8th March it passed through the House of Commons and on the 29th of that month received the Royal assent. The Act authorized Her Majesty in Council to declare by proclamation that on and after a certain day the provinces of Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick should form one Dominion under the name of Canada. The necessary pro- clamation was issued on the 22nd of May and the 1st of July was fixed as the day from which the Union should take effect.
