"This office was created, and the agent appointed by the Colonial Office in 1828. The annual report was presented to the Governor-General who transmitted it to the Colonial Office until 1861 when superintendence of immigration was placed under the Canadian Department of agriculture. Before 1861 the report was occasionally printed in the appendices to the Assembly journals as a return from the Governor-General; after that date it was included in the Minister of agriculture's annual report. The first agent, A.C. Buchanan, was succeeded on July 1, 1838, by his nephew of the same name who held the post till 1867"--TPL.
