Government background

Canada is a federation made up of 10 provinces and 3 territories. French Canadians make up about 80 percent of the population of Quebec. Canada is an independent, self-governing nation. But the Constitution Act of 1982 recognizes the British monarch as Canada's official head of state. This position symbolizes the country's historic ties to the  United Kingdom. The United Kingdom governed Canada until 1848. In 1931, the  Statute of Westminster made Canada independent. The Constitution Act of 1982 eliminated the need for British approval of Canadian constitutional amendments.

Government Response to Covid-19

The Government of Canada is investing in Canadian researchers to learn more about this novel coronavirus and to develop tools and resources to combat it.
