Quebec Boundary Extension Act, 1898
Act of Parliament
When Canada was formed in 1867 its provinces were a relatively narrow strip in the southeast, with vast territories in the interior. It grew by adding British Columbia in 1871, P.E.I. in 1873, the British Arctic Islands in 1880, and Newfoundland in 1949; meanwhile, its provinces grew both in size and number at the expense of its territories.
Evolution of the borders of the Province of Quebec

The Quebec Boundary Extension Act, 1898 was an Act of the

North-West Territories, formerly Rupert's Land
, claimed by England in 1670.

The first of two such acts, a second act was passed by Parliament in 1912 and entitled the Quebec Boundaries Extension Act, 1912.[2] Together, these two expansions more than tripled the size of the Province of Quebec to what it is today.
