"What We Have Learned: The Clarity Act"

"The Clarity Act" is a law passed by the Canadian government to clarify the process for Quebec to become independent. It states that the federal government will only negotiate if Quebec clearly votes in favor of independence in a fair referendum. The Act emphasizes that the question must be clear and that any move toward independence should be based on an decisive and legitimate majority. Essentially, it provides a legal framework to ensure that any effort for Quebec's separation is transparent, democratic, and recognized by the federal government before any negotiations take place.
