The Naval Service Bill of 1910 was a piece of Canadian government
legislation, which was put forward by Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
Prior to the bill's introduction Canada did not have a navy of its own, a
state of affairs that left the Dominion dependent on the British Royal Navy
for maritime defence. The Naval Service Bill was intended to provide
Canada with a separate naval force, but one that, if needed, could be
placed under British control during time of war. By the end of 1910, the
Royal Canadian Navy was created with a fleet of two former British Royal
Navy vessels.[1] Both French-Canadian nationalists and British-Canadian
imperialists opposed the bill, which eventually led to the fall of Laurier’s
government and the Naval Service Bill being replaced by a new bill put
forward by Prime Minister Robert Borden in 1912.[2]
