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

1995
2000
2006
2010

The correct answer is: 2006

The other options are incorrect because - Option A: 1995 was the year that the Quebec sovereignty referendum took place, which asked the citizens of Quebec whether the province should become an independent country. This is not the same as the House of Commons recognizing the Quebecois as a nation within Canada. - Option B: 2000 was the year that the Canadian Parliament passed a motion recognizing "the Québécois as a nation within a united Canada," but this was not formalized by the House of Commons until 2006. - Option D: 2010 was the year that the House of Commons passed a unanimous motion recognizing "the Québécois as a nation within Canada." This was a reiteration of the 2006 decision, but was not the initial recognition made by the House of Commons.
