Excerpt from The Canadian Pacific Railway, 1883: Annual Statement of Sir Charles Tupper Sir charles tupper, in rising to make his annual statement with reference to the Canadian Pacific Railway, was received with loud and long continued applause. He said -i regret very much, Mr. Speaker, that, owing to a severe attack of inflammation of the throat, I was not able at the time proposed to make the annual statement in relation to the Canadian Pacific Railway, and I regret still more that I fear the present state of my health will not enable me to do adequate justice to the very important question that is submitted for the consideration of the House. But I must, as meeting all shortcomings on my part, refer to the celebrated motto: Let the deed speak. I believe, Sir, that that great work now occupies a position in the estimation of this House that renders it less necessary that any very lengthened observations should be made in relation to it. It is not often that the promoters of a great and important measure are able, after an experience of two years, to say that all the most sanguine predictions that they ventured to offer in.support of the mea sure have been already more than realized. Yet, Sir, I am able to make that state ment on the present occasion. The contract made with the Canadian Pacific Railway Company for the construction of that great work - a work so great that my hon. Friend the leader of the late Government stated on an important occasion that all the re sources of the British Empire were not sufficient to ensure its construction within ten years; a work so great as to have baffled the efforts that had been made by two Gov ernments to give it any very great prominence - I say, Sir, that the contract for that Work required that it should be completed by the first day of July, 1891. We are en abled now to say that if the rogress in future is equal to the progress of the past, we may confidently accept t e statement of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company that by the end of December, 1886, that road will be completed from end to end. And Sir, with the organization they have effected, with the progress they have already made, with the preparations in hand for vigorously pushing that work to completion, they will not require to make any greater exertions to accomplish that pledge than they have required in the past, in order to push this great work.to its present condi tion. That, Sir, willbe four and a-half years before the time provided in the contract for the completion of the work. And those, Sir, who have witnessed the great pro gress given to this country, the enormous impetus given to the advancement of this country, by the vigorous and rapid prosecution of the work up to the resent time, will agree with me in the sentiment that to anticipate the date of comp etion by no less than four years and a-half will be to confer upon Canada the greatest possible boon and benefit. Nor, Sir, can it be stated that the fullest antici tions of the Gov ernment, the stror gest assurances given by us to this House in re ation to the char acter of the work, have not been more than realized. I have laid upon the Table of the House such fill and complete information with reference to the progress of this work up to the pi esent time, or down to the very latest date, as will render it uh necessary for me to detain the House at such great length, as I would otherwise feel myself warranted in doing, in reference to the progress and character of the work.
