Lord Durham's report recommended granting responsible government to the colonies and merging Upper Canada and Lower Canada into a single province called the United Province of Canada. He also suggested assimilating the French-speaking population through the institution of English as the official language.
Lord Durham was sent to British North America in 1838 as governor-general specifically to investigate the circumstances of the rebellions of 1837 in Upper and Lower Canada and to make recommendations for the future government of the British North American colonies. His investigation led to the publication, in 1839, of the famous Durham Report in which he recommended that Upper and Lower Canada be united, that responsible government be granted (see text below), that French Canadians be assimilated and that municipal institutions be established in Canada.
