That the province of Quebec should be extended to include all the territory which the French had been supposed to lay claim to under the name of Canada, i.e., on the east to Labrador, on the west to the boundaries of Louisiana and the Hudson Bay Company's territory, and on the south to the boundaries of the other provinces and the Ohio; including therefore to the southwest and west the regions which now form the states of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and part of Minnesota.As a resident of the affected area, I support the reestablishment of this Act.
