Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - Nā te whakapaunga hōia a Amerika me Kanata i Newfoundland i ngā tau 1940 i puta ai he pikinga ohaoha, ā, i āhei ai te Komihana o te Kāwanatanga ki te whakaaro me pēhea te whakahoki mai i tētahi pūnaha kāwanatanga ā-iwi. Heoi anō, i whakapono te kāwanatanga o Ingarangi e kore e roa te waimarie o te pakanga. Nō reira i whakatūria e ia te National Convention o Newfoundland i te tau 1946 hei matapaki i ngā kōwhiringa ture, i tukuna ki te iwi i roto i ngā pōti e rua
i te tau 1948. Na te nuinga iti, i whiriwhiri a Newfoundlanders kia noho hei kawanatanga o Kanata, kaua ki te hoki ki te mana o te mana motuhake. I haere tonu te Komihana o te Kawanatanga ki te whakahaere i a Newfoundland tae noa ki te Poutu-te-rangi 31, 1949, i te wa i uru ai te rangatiratanga ki Kanata.
