Excerpt from Discours de l'Hon M. Chapleau: Sur les Résolutions du Chemin de Fer Canadien du Pacifique
Nous pouvons aujourd'hui, de cette enceinte, nous adresser à l'angleterre, et lui dire: Ce que l'on vous demandait alors à vous la métropole, pour maintenir votre prééminence et pour unir par un lien puissant vos immenses colonies, nous l'avons fait nous-mêmes et nous l'avons fait seuls., Nous l'avons fait par le secours de nos hommes d'etat, et par l'entremise des princes de la finance du Canada. Ils ont, il est vrai, obtenu un peu de cette immense richesse accumulée par votre admirable génie, mais nous avons garanti ces avances mêmes d'une manière inattaquable.
