Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Influence on Canadian Nationhood Discussion of the award in the Canadian House of Commons led Sir Wilfrid to say he regretted that Canada was only a small but growing colony next door to a great and powerful nation who was very grasping. He also regretted that Canada did not have more control of the treaty-making power so she could better defend her own rights.' This speech of October 23, 1903 may be taken as the start of a new era in Canadian nationalism in which Canada demanded more control of her foreign affairs to match her internal autonomy. Laurier did not insist on immediate control but was to utilize the problems of the future as a lever to increase the Dominion's control of her external affairs.
