Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: Ko te moutere o Newfoundland, i taua wa he koroni o Ingarangi, i whakahaerehia
e rua ngā pōti i te tau 1948 hei whakatau i tōna heke mai. I whakahaerehia he pooti tuatahi i te Pipiri 3, 1948, ki te whakatau i waenga i te haere tonu me te Komihana Kawanatanga i tohua e Ingarangi i whakahaere i te moutere mai i nga tau 1930, ka hoki ki te mana rangatira me te kawanatanga kawenga, ka uru atu ranei ki te Canadian Confederation. Ko te hua i kore e taea te whakatau, me te 44.6% e tautoko ana i te whakaoranga o te mana rangatira, 41.1% mo te hononga ki Kanata, me te 14.3% mo te haere tonu o te Komihana o te Kawanatanga. I whakatauhia he pooti tuarua i te Hurae 22, 1948, i tono ki nga Newfoundlanders kia kowhiria i waenga i te hononga me te mana rangatira, i whakatauhia e te pooti 52% ki te 48% mo te hononga ki Kanata. I uru a Newfoundland ki Kanata i te 31 o Poutu-te-rangi 1949.
