The Rupert's Land Act 1868(31 & 32 Vict. c. 105) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom authorising the transfer of Rupert's Land from the control of the Hudson's Bay Company to the Dominion of Canada. Often confused with the Deed of Surrender,[citation needed] the act is different as it only expressed that the United Kingdom and Canada permitted the transfer but did not settle on the details of exchange with HBC which were then outlined in the deed.
