Pierre Trudeau's quote reflects his belief that the government should not interfere in the private sexual affairs of consenting adults. This is consistent with Canadian law, which generally does not criminalize private, consensual sexual activity between adults. However, American law includes legal regulation of some adult, consensual activities, such as prostitution and certain sexual acts. Therefore, option D is the best choice as it reflects this difference between Canadian and American laws regarding sexuality. Option A is incorrect as both Canada and the United States have laws regarding sexual behaviour. Option B is also incorrect as homosexuality is legal in both Canada and the United States. Option C is incorrect as Canadian sexual behaviour laws apply to both public and private behaviour, and American laws may also vary by location.
