Manitoba Act – Queen Victoria Lord Lisgar
Monday, 6th July 2009
While it may be true that the actual date in the year – the specific date of June 15 was the date when the Province of Manitoba specifically , and legally became a province according to the terms of the :”Manitoba Act”, however May 12 was the prevailing date when the statute was finally given Royal assent – it was physically and officially signed and given the stamp of approval by Canadian Governor , General Sir John Young , Lord Lisgar ,of behalf of Queen Victoria -after being passed by the house of commons. The tally of the vote was fully 120 yes to 11 No. One wonders what was in the minds , or the demands of those dissenting voice or cast votes.
