§ 78. Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCKasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, seeing that in the year 1784 a formal Treaty was entered into between the British Government and the Six-Nations Tribe, that the validity of the Treaty has been repeatedly recognised, and that even so recently as 1909 the Canadian Government still held that this Treaty was operative, he will say when and by what parties this formal Treaty was denounced?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI have been asked to reply. If the reference is to the so-called Haldimand Treaty of 1784, the question which has arisen is whether the Six-Nations Indians, occupying the lands set apart by that document, are amenable to certain Canadian legislation. This is entirely a matter for the Government and Parliament of Canada.
