Excerpt from The Nature of Canadian FederalismJ documents is the mixed and confused use of terms. In the confidential memorandum 1 drawn up in 1864, which was the basis for the Coalition Ministry pledged to carry out the unification, federal principle federal union, and confederation are all used to describe the political scheme which brought Conservatives and Liberals together. The inexactitude of the phraseology might be put down to lack of political training were it not for the fact that, during the debates2 on the Quebec Resolutions in the Parliament of Canada in February, 1865, federation and confederation seem to have been deliberately used to confuse the issue. It is clear that there was a certain amount of camouflage.
