Durham Report
The Durham report was named after Lord Durham (John Lambton). Lord Durham was British Parliamentarian in the County of Durham, who came to Canada on 29 May 1838. Here he was appointed to report on why the Rebellion had stated. The report was known as "The Durham Report". In the report he stated "While the present state of things is allowed to last, the actual inhabitants of these Provinces have no security for person or property--no enjoyment of what they possess--no stimulus to industry." (pg.3, Lambton) When the government read Lord Durham's report, they decided to make two different Councils. One for the English and one for the French. This caused a segregation in the nation which is present to this day, as evident by the different social structure of French and English Canadians.
