Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Canadian Multiculturalism Policy was established by the Canadian government in 1971 and was the first of its kind in the world. The policy recognizes and promotes the cultural diversity of Canada and enshrines it as a fundamental characteristic of Canadian society. While there were earlier movements away from assimilation, such as with the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism in the 1960s, it was the 1971 Multiculturalism Policy that fully recognized and embraced the diversity of cultures within Canada. The policy has evolved over time, but it has not developed a folkloric orientation in the 1990s, as stated in option D.
