In 1909, the German navy was threatening Britain's naval supremacy. Britain turned to its dominions for aid in the naval race, with specific demands voiced at the Naval Conference of 1909. .
The Canadian public was again divided on the issue of responsibility to Great Britain. The English provinces agreed that Canada had a duty to help the British navy resist threats to its superiority. At the same time, English Canadians believed that if dominions were expected to increase their contributions to Imperial defense in the interests of a common Imperial military system, then it followed that Canada should have a voice in that Imperial policy. French Canadians continued to believe that the best way to assist the Empire was to reduce its external liabilities, and therefore that the physical defense of Canada should be the focus. As tensions increased in Europe, the opposition, mobilized by the known imperialist Sir George Foster, advocated support for the Royal Navy. Laurier, feeling the pressure in the House of Commons, introduced another of his famous compromises - on January 12, 1910, the Naval Service Bill was put into place. The Bill made provision for a small Canadian fleet that could be placed in Imperial command if deemed necessary by the Governor in Council. In Laurier's eyes, it was an satisfactory reflection of Canadian Imperial relations as it "asserted a Canadian autonomy that was neither colonial subordination nor national independence." .
The Bill was met by opposition from both English imperialists and French nationalists. The former, finding voice in Robert Borden, denounced it as a treasonable act to offer such a "tin pot navy" and demanded the direct contribution of either two dreadnoughts, or the capital to create the two ships. The latter, led again by Bourassa, debated that involuntary recruiting would be the next logical step if Canada continued to become involved in affairs that did not directly concern its citizens.
