5 Conference Results New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and The Province of Canada agreed to Confederation Agreed that the provincial governments would keep many powers and controls within their provinces BUT they needed Britain to agree and allow for the Colonies to become an Independent Country -Keep power in prov to make sure the federal govt (located in Ontario) would not fully control how each province functioned
