Carnarvon Terms
The Carnarvon Terms were a set of proposals ordered by the British colonial secretary Lord Carnarvon in 1874 to settle the dispute between British Columbia and Canada over the construction of the transcontinental railroad and the Vancouver Island railroad and train bridge.〔http://knowbc.com/limited/Books/Encyclopedia-of-BC/C/Carnarvon-Terms〕 Vancouver Island and British Columbia had been promised a rail link as a precondition of their entry into confederation in 1871.
==History==
In 1874, British Columbia threatened to withdraw from Confederation. Queen Victoria was petitioned by Premier Walkem for relief from failure to delivery the promise of a railroad to Victoria. Prime Minister Alexander Mackenzie and Walkem agreed to accept arbitration of the dispute by the Earl of Carnarvon, the Colonial Secretary. Both parties promised to be bound by the ruling. The judgment was given on 17 November 1874.
A report of the Privy Council accepting the new terms was approved by the Governor General on December 18, 1874. Nevertheless, the federal government bill approving the settlement agreement failed in the Senate of Canada, and British Columbia secession was raised again.
