In what year did the House of Commons recognize the Quebecois as a nation within a united Canada?

1995
1982
2006
2015

The correct answer is: 2006

In 2006, the House of Commons recognized the Quebecois as a nation within a united Canada. This decision was made in response to a parliamentary motion, which passed with a vote of 266-16. This recognition was seen as a symbolic gesture to recognize the cultural and linguistic distinctiveness of the Quebecois, while reaffirming their place within the country. The other options are incorrect because A) 1995 is incorrect because this was the year of the Quebec Referendum, which asked voters if Quebec should become an independent country. It did not involve the House of Commons recognizing the Quebecois as a nation within Canada. B) 1982 is incorrect because this was the year that the Canadian Constitution was repatriated and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was added. While this event was significant for Quebec, it did not involve the recognition of the Quebecois as a nation within Canada. D) 2015 is incorrect because this was the year that the House of Commons passed a motion recognizing the victims of the Holodomor (a man-made famine in Ukraine) as genocide. This event was unrelated to the recognition of the Quebecois as a nation within Canada.
