Upon receiving news of the unrest, Bishop Taché was recalled from Rome.
He arrived back in the colony on March 8, whereupon he conveyed to Riel his mistaken impression that the December amnesty would apply to both Riel and Lépine.
 On March 15 he read to the elected assembly a telegram from Joseph Howe indicating that the government found the demands in the list of rights to be " in the main satisfactory".
Following the preparation of a final list of rights, which included new demands such as a general amnesty for all members of the provisional government and provisions for separate francophone schools, delegates Abbé Joseph-Noël Ritchot, Judge John Black and Alfred Henry Scott departed for Ottawa on March 23 and 24.

Shortly after this, Mair and Schultz arrived in Toronto, Ontario.
Assisted by George Taylor Denison III, they immediately set about inflaming anti-Métis and anti-Catholic sentiment in the editorial pages of the Ontario press over the execution of Scott.
 But, Macdonald had decided before the provisional government was established that Canada must negotiate with the Métis.
Although the delegates were arrested following their arrival in Ottawa on April 11 on charges of abetting murder, they were quickly released.
 They soon entered into direct talks with Macdonald and Cartier, wherein Ritchot emerged as an effective negotiator; an agreement enshrining many of the demands in the list of rights was soon reached.
This formed the basis for the Manitoba Act of May 12, 1870, which admitted Manitoba into the Canadian confederation on July 15.

The government had to deal with several issues before peace could be made, fortunately for the government, they would reach an agreement.
With the creation of Manitoba, the government would gain control over a new area and not have to worry about the Metis being upset as they would also be gaining control over the land.

On May 12, 1870, the Metis had been given two hundred thousand hectares of land which would make up the province of Manitoba.
This would allow for the Metis to hunt freely in their land and have some form of government with legitimate powers to run the province and protect the Metis rights.
Even though the government had created the province of Manitoba for the Metis, it also allowed the government to have control over the province without being responsible for any events that may occur within the province.
Manitoba would be the first province created from the Northwest Territories.

Significantly, however, Ritchot could not secure a clarification of the Governor General's amnesty — anger over Scott's execution was growing rapidly in Ontario, and any such guarantee was not politically expedient.
The delegates returned to Manitoba with only a promise of a forthcoming amnesty.
