====Nickle Resolution====
{{Further|Canadian titles debate}}

Despite being knighted himself, Borden disapproved of the process by which Canadians were nominated for [[honour]]s and in March 1917 drafted a policy stating that all names had to be vetted by the prime minister before the list was sent to [[Westminster]].<ref>{{cite book |last=McCreery |first=Christopher |date=2005 |title=The Order of Canada: Its Origins, History and Development |location=Toronto |publisher=University of Toronto Press |isbn=0-8020-3940-5 |page=37}}</ref> In mid-1917, Borden agreed with MP [[William Folger Nickle]]'s proposal to abolish [[Hereditary title]]s in Canada. In addition to the abolition of the Hereditary titles, it was later learned that with the exception of military distinctions, honours would not be granted to residents of Canada without the approval or the advice of the Canadian prime minister.<ref name="Bordenbio" />
