Summary
A resolution was passed in the provincial legislature to universally grant the right to vote to Aboriginal people, despite the fact that Aboriginal leaders had not granted their approval.
Implications
Premier Douglas recognized that he had broken his promise not to grant the vote without the agreement of Aboriginal people, but sided with the legislative majority instead.
