Extract
By the Treaty of Paris of 1763, Canada was ceded by France to the United Kingdom, and what is to-day known as Newfoundland-Labrador first acquired a separate and political importance. Following the conclusion of the Treaty, the administration of the territory was entrusted to the newly appointed Governor of Newfoundland, and the loosely worded Commission which went with the change was in part responsible for the fact that in the succeeding 100 years Labrador was “tossed back and forth like a shuttlecock between the two rival claimants”, Canada and Newfoundland.
