The House of Lords has 1200 members and is the highest court of appeal in Britain's judicial system. Members are appointed by the Crown. The Lords, with less formal procedures than Commons, can provide additional study and reflection and thus improve the quality of legislation.

Hudson's Bay Company
English corporation, formed in 1670, which held a monopoly over trade in the region watered by streams flowing into Hudson Bay in Canada. Charles II, king of England, granted the charter for the company to Prince Rupert, his cousin and 17 other noblemen and gentlemen. In its vast land mass, which came to be known as.Rupert's Land, the company also had the power to establish laws and impose penalties for the infraction of the laws, to erect forts, to maintain ships of war and to make peace or war with indigenous peoples. In 1870 the Hudson's Bay Company agreed to sell to the British owned 'Dominion of Canada', its northern territories Rupert's Land and.The North Western Territory.(a territory is a self-governing part of a nation not having provincial status), which together became.the Northwest Territories. This area, which included present day Saskatchewan, was renamed the Northwest Territories.

Under the leadership of Louis Riel, the.Métis.(persons of mixed European and indigenous descent) formed a provisional government that temporarily resisted the transfer of the Hudson's Bay territories to the Dominion of Canada. Known as the Red River Rebellion, this resistance, with incidents of armed conflict, lasted from December 1869 to August 1870 and resulted in the small area around the Red River colony becoming part of the Dominion of Canada on July 15, 1870 as the tiny (very small in area or size) province of Manitoba. This took place after the Métis convinced the Dominion of Canada government to issue the Manitoba Act of 1870, which created the province of Manitoba. This Manitoba was a small province of only 14,000 square miles  (36,000 square kilometers) that included the Red River settlement of some 12,000 Scots and Métis. In 1912 the borders of the province were extended northward, tripling its area and gaining it a coastline on Hudson Bay and a rich mining region. The Dominion government retained control over Manitoba's public lands and natural resources..comprised from article by Tom Flanagan, Professor of Political Science, University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, E., B.A., M.A., Ph.D. Author ofLouis "David" Riel: "Prophet of the New World"andMétis Land Claims in Manitobain Microsoft® Encarta® Encyclopedia 99. © 1993-1998 Microsoft Corporation.
