BNA? edit

This acronym is used in the text, but is never defined. Anyone? Userboy87 (talk) 23:01, 5 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

This appears to be a confusing reference to the British North America Act, perhaps based on this sentence from page 14 of Bryce's famous 1922 report:

"It is indeed pitiable that during the thirteen years since then this trail of disease and death has gone on almost unchecked by any serious efforts on the part of the Department of Indian Affairs, placed by the B. N. A. Act especially in charge of our Indian population, and that a Provincial Tuberculosis Commission now considers it to be its duty to publish the facts regarding these children living within its own Province."

I've replaced "BNA" in the article with some text based on the above sentence. David C Bailey (talk) 22:04, 7 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
