Excerpt from Report of the Select Committee of the Legislative Assembly: Appointed to Inquire Into the Causes and Importance of the Emigration, Which Takes Place Annually, From Lower Canada to the United States
This emigration, of the agricultural population, has been constantly on the increase, as well as that of the working population of the City of Montreal, and soon after, of the City of Quebec, where the want of work consequent upon the falling off of the Lumber Trade, has been sensibly felt during the last few years; while the disastrous fires of 1845 obliged a certain number of families to emigrate immediately.
The emigration from the District of Three Rivers has taken another course; it has depended rather upon that which is going on from the Eastern Town ships by way of the Lower Canada frontier. These emigrants generally go to the Townships, and thence to the United States.
