A bill cannot become a law in Canada without which of the following?

Passing both chambers of government and the Senate
Receiving royal assent from the Governor General
Approval by the Prime Minister
A public referendum

The correct answer is: Receiving royal assent from the Governor General

In Canada, in order for a bill to become a law, it must receive royal assent from the Governor General, who is the representative of the monarch. Option A is incorrect because while the bill does need to pass both chambers of government (the House of Commons and the Senate), it also requires the step of royal assent. Option C is incorrect because while the Prime Minister plays a significant role in the legislative process, they do not have final approval over whether a bill becomes a law. Option D is incorrect because public referendums are not a required step in the law-making process in Canada.
