Clarity Act

The Clarity Act, enacted in Canada in 2000, outlines the process for a province to hold a referendum on separation. It sets the criteria for a clear question and a substantial majority needed for any potential separation to be recognized. The Act aims to provide legal and constitutional clarity on issues of national unity and independence, ensuring that any move toward separation is straightforward and reflects the will of the people. Essentially, it establishes guidelines to manage and assess the seriousness of any province's desire to become an independent nation.
