Line 5:

Prior to becoming governing commisioner Fredrick White was a Lieutenant-Colonel and comptroller for the North-West mounted police.

While Haultain struggled to bring responsible government to the Territories, White was the exact reverse. His career was remarkable not for what he did, but for what he didn't do. He presided over the empty four man Northwest Territories council, no one was appointed to serve on the council until [[1921]] when it was expanded to six members, three years after White left office, and no legislation was passed in this period. Fredrick White lived in Ottawa, and neverdid travelednot travel to the [[Northwest Territories]], during his time in office.
