Etymology

Reciprocity No. 32 is named after the Reciprocity Treaty, a free trade agreement which was a controversial election issue in 1911. The treaty was defeated, along with Wilfrid Laurier's government, in the same year. The name was suggested by J. Adolph Lemay, the R.M. secretary of the time.[5]
