The Military Service Bill was introduced to the House of Commons in June 1917 and passed August 28th, 1917. It was enforced after Borden was reelected in the federal election that took place on December 17th, 1917. It made military service compulsory to all men between the ages of 20 to 45 until the end of the war.
This one act would greatly influence Canada in the years to come.
