Sir Wilfred Laurier was a highly respected Prime Minister. Under his rule the economic growth of Canada had grown exponentially. Laurier had a major influence on his country because he could speak fluently in both the French and English Language. Wilfred had exceptional talent in public speaking and had a practical understanding of politics. Also, Laurier was very strong at compromising. When it came to the Naval Bill, I'm not sure if he had the best compromise. Laurier decided to contribute to the British Navy but instead create its own tiny navy. I think this would have been a costly waste of time. The ships that Canada would built were most likely much too weak for Britains standards. Laurier was accused for "giving Britain too little, too late."
