The Quebec Conference Meet the Fathers of Confederation		There were three conferences held leading to creation of the Dominion of Canada in 1867. The first was in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island in September 1864, the second was in Québec in October 1864, and the third was in London, England in December 1866. After the Charlottetown Conference, John A. Macdonald asked Governor Monck to invite representatives from the three Maritime colonies (Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick) and Newfoundland to meet with the United Canada delegates in Québec in October 1864. The second conference would expand on the proposals laid out at the Charlottetown conference: Preservation of ties with Great Britain Residual jurisdiction left to a central authority A bicameral system including a Lower House with representation by population (rep by pop) and an Upper House with representation based on regional, rather than provincial, equality Responsible government at the federal and provincial levels The appointment of a governor general by the British Crown. Following this conference, the delegates from the colonies drafted a text known as the 72 Resolutions, or the Québec Resolutions. These resolutions were the basis for the London Conference held at Westminster Palace Hotel in December 1866.
