pg 57 Gains and Problems 1a) Three gains that Canada achieved during the Laurier years were: œ hydroelectric power brought under government control(public ownership)- Adam Beck fought that hydroelectric power and other such utilities should be placed under the government because the current commissions had no competition, therefore gaining a monopoly. The first government-controlled hydroelectric power commission was established in the May of 1906. œ progress in womenfs rights- Nellie McClung, the leader of the WCTU(Womanfs Christian Temperance Union) was a strong activist. She fought for womanfs rights in society, and argued female suffrage. In 1918, women were finally granted the right to vote in the federal election.
