Donald Graham, in his book, Keepers of the Light wrote:"The Canadian government appointed its own, rather lame commission of enquiry into the Valencia tragedy, headed by James Gaudin, on 5 February 1906. A month later the Vancouver Province revealed the commissioners' findings and recommendations, which were then "in the hands of the Minister." Unfortunately, there is no way of knowing where the report went after Louis Brodeur (Minister of Marine and Fisheries) read it. No copy has survived."The following is Donald Graham's overview of the recommendations:"They called for a new light and fog alarm on Pachena Point near the site of the wreck, and another at Sheringham Point in the Strait between Carmanah and Race Rocks, in addition to improvements at Carmanah, a fog alarm and more powerful beacon for Cape Beale, and "first order lights and fog alarms on the more prominent headlands from Triangle Island (Scott Islands) to Lennard Island." At long last they insisted that 'self-propelling, self-righting and self-bailing lifeboats' be stationed at Bamfield and further north at Ucluelet. The commissioners also recommended upgrading and extending the West Coast Trail from Port San Juan all the way through to Cape Beale, with huts equipped with provisions and wireless sets six miles apart. The trail was to be patrolled by full-time linemen 'at least once a day in all sorts of weather.' "
