ment, simultaneously, within two years
from the date of Union, of the con-
struction of a railway from the Pacific
towards the Rocky Mountains, and
from such point as might be selected
east of the Rocky Mountains towards
the Pacific, to connect the seaboard of
British Columbia with the railway sys-
tem of Canada; and further, to secure
the completion of such railway within
ten years from the date of Union.
"That owing to divers causes the con-
struction of the said railway was not
commenced in British Columbia or
elsewhere at the time agreed upon.
"That in 1874 the Government of Canada
applied to British Columbia for, and
afterward secured and accepted,
through the intervention and upon the
recommendation of Her Majesty's
Principal Secretary of State for the
Colonies, an agreement for the re-
laxation of the railway clauses of the
terms of Union; and the public faith
and honour of Canada now stand
pledged to carry the said agreement
respecting the said relaxation of the
railway clause of the terms of Union,
forthwith into operation.
"That_notwithstanding the public faith
and honour of Canada stand twice
solemnly pledged to construct the
said railway and commence the actual
construction thereof in British
Columbia and elsewhere, and notwith-
standing nearly five years have passed
since the date of Union, and nearly
three years have elapsed from the date
at which Canada agreed first that the
actual construction should be com-
menced, and nearly eighteen months
since she agreed the second time to
commence the construction, yet the
Government have not, up to the pre-
sent moment, commenced the actual
construction of the said railway in the
said Province.

That, therefore, this House is of the
opinion that the Government should
forthwith promptly commence and
vigorously and continuously prosecute
the work of the actual construction of
the said railway within British Colum-
bia in accordance with its solemn
pledges to that Province."-Mr. De-
Cosmos, 873,

tion) be concurred in."-Hon. Mr.

Canadian Pacific Railway shall be
such as the resources of the country
will permit, without increasing the
existing rates of taxation."—Mr. Ross,

be concurred in."-Hon. Mr. Mackenzie, 1137.
Motion in amendment, That the fol-
lowing words be added to the re-
solution:

"That while concurring in this vote, this
House desires to record its opinion
that the country is pledged to the con-
struction of the Pacific Railway in
its agreement with British Columbia,
and that it is in accordance with that
agreement and with the public interest
that the surveys be energetically pro-
ceeded with, in order that the con-
struction of the road should be pro-
secuted as rapidly as the resources of
the country will permit without
adding to the burthens of taxation."
