HC Deb 15 September 1909 vol 10 c2128
Lord BALCARRES (for Sir Gilbert Parker)

asked whether Canada makes a claim upon all land intervening between the American border and the North Pole; and if that claim is made in any treaty or constitutional article or document?

Colonel SEELY

The Secretary of State understands that the Canadian Government have not made a formal declaration of the exact limits of their possessions northwards, but it is believed that they consider themselves entitled to claim all the land referred to by the hon. Gentleman.
