Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - I tīmata te rōpū i te tau 1948 hei Newfoundland Confederate Association. I tēnei wā, i whakahaeretia a Newfoundland e tētahi Komihana Kāwanatanga i whakaritea e te Kāwanatanga o te United Kingdom. Ko te NCA he whakahaere e pakanga ana kia uru atu a Newfoundland ki te kawanatanga o Kanata. Ko Joey Smallwood te kaiwhakahaere matua me te kaikorero mo te NCA, a i arahi ia i te taha toa o te pooti pooti o Newfoundland i te tau 1948
mo te Rōpū.
