parlant au Saint-Georges club, à Londres, disait : " French-Canadians are a moral and religious people, listening to their hierarchy and their priesthood, and as a Protestant, I have no hesitation in saying that the best and finest moral police in the world, was to be found in the priesthood of French-Canada. "
Dans un discours à Dundee, en Écosse, l’honorable Alexandre Mackenzie disait, la même année, je crois : " The French people in Canada are in the position of a people speaking an alien language, but do not consider themselves an alien people, and are at this moment as proud of British law and freedom as any portion of the Canadian people ; and as Lord Dufferin remarked the other day in London, there is no class or population more thoroughly trained in Parliamentary practice and life, and to all the rights and feelings of an independent and proud people."
