Excerpt from Hon. Mr. Mills' Speech on the Boundaries of Ontario
The boundaries of Upper Canada on the north and west were declared, under the Constitutional Act of 1791, to include all the territory to the westward and southward of the boundary line of Hudson's Bay to the utmost extent of the country, commonly called or known by the name of Canada. Whatever doubt may exist as to the utmost extent of Old or French Canada, no impartial investigator of the evidence, in the case, can doubt that it extended to and included the country between Lake of the Woods and Red River. The Government of Canada, therefore, does not admit, but, on the contrary, denies, and has always denied the pretentions of the Hudson's Bay Company to any right of soil beyond that of squatters in the territory through which the road complained of is being constructed.
