12. 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 Lauriers government and the Naval Service Bill being replaced by a new bill put forward by Prime Minister Robert Borden in 1912.
