Hello Guys,

Was preparing for the test and came across this question. Which option is the correct one?

Which legal document recognizes the cultural diversity of Canadians?

Select One:
  • The Multicultural Act of the United Nations.
  • British Charter of Freedoms
  • Canadian Multiculturalism Act
  • Canada Charter of Rights and Freedoms

It is easy to argue that the answer is the CMA (and I think it should be, based on the phrasing of the question) but I suggest you stick to the Discover Canada booklet which says it's the CCRF.

Hmm, wording of question is problematic. But here is something to think about: An act can be modified with a simple majority vote in Parliament. But the CCRF is part of the Constitution and can't be modified so easily.

This is a bit off-topic, but your post made me read me further on technicalities and amendments to the Constitution. I just found out that Quebec never formally accepted the Constitution Act ! They even formed their own Charter of Rights and Freedoms (QCRF). The more you live, the more you learn :)
