In a debate on the Alaska Boundary Award in the Canadian House of Commons, Sir Wilfred Laurier observed that they might have made a mistake in supposing Canada's interests were safe in the hands of Lord Alverstone but he would not believe it until he had Lord Alverston's reasoned opinion. If Canada had refused to proceed after treaty had been signed the American flag would have flown over all the disputed terri- tory or the Canadians" would have had to fight for their rights. Sir Wilfred Laurier announced, that immediate steps would be taken to construct a railway to Yukon.
