Journals of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario: 1888-1904, Regina, pr. for the government, 1888-. (In 1870 the Dominion of Canada
terminated the rights of the Hudson’s Bay Company over its territories. Large tracts of those territories were eventually ceded to the provinces of
Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, and Saskatchewan, and another tract became the Yukon Territory. What was left became the Northwest-Territory {NWT}. The
Dominion government first provided for the temporary governance of the NWT under the jurisdiction of the Lt.-Gov. of Manitoba. In 1876 all of the former
Hudson’s Bay Company territories (less Manitoba) were established as the North-West Territories, with a Lt.-Gov. and a partially elective Council, the
nominated members being appointed by the Privy Council of the Dominion. The site of future Regina was chosen for the seat of government. The Executive
Council became partly elective in 1885 and was replaced by a Legislative Assembly in 1888. As of 6/11 LLMC’s run of this title was complete for 1889
through 1904. The gift or loan for scanning purposes of 1888 would be much appreciated.)
