Durham Report Research

research the Durham Report, written by John George Lambton, the first Earl of Durham.  Lambton travelled to Canada from Britain, after being appointed Governor General and High Commissioner of British North America, and as such he travelled throughout the region.  While travelling, Lambton spoke to many Canadians, both French and English, and the Durham Report was largely based upon the insight gained from these conversations.

Research the report and discuss its:

-Impact on Ontario and Quebec
-Legacy for English and French relationships in Canada
-Influence on the idea of representative self government
-Influence on confederation
-Impact for other British colonies
