History of Canada - the Maritimes. After the War of the Spanish Succession, Nova Scotia, other than Cape Breton, was ceded to the British by the Treaty of Utrecht. This gave Britain control over a large number of French-speaking Acadians. Not trusting these new subjects the British tried to dilute their numbers. Thus an effort to recruit Foreign Protestants, primarily from Germany and Switzerland was launched. After only mild success with this effort the British ordered a massive deportation in 1755 and spread the Acadians throughout their North American holdings. While many subsequently returned, the era of francophone Nova Scotia was at and end. Canada was also an important battlefield in the Seven Years' War, during which Great Britain gained control of Quebec City after the Battle of the Plains of Abraham in 1759, and.

It also proposed the elimination of barriers to the free flow of goods, services, labour and capital, and other provisions related to employment, standard of living and development among the provinces.
