What is the Official Languages Act of 1969?

  1. Made English the official language

  2. Made French the official language

  3. Mandated bilingual road signs across Canada

  4. Guarantees French and English services in the federal government

The correct answer is: Guarantees French and English services in the federal government

The Official Languages Act of 1969 is a Canadian federal law that guarantees French and English services in the federal government, as well as in federal courts, and promotes the equality of French and English as official languages in Canada. The other options are incorrect because while the Act does promote bilingualism, it does not make one language "official" over the other and it does not mandate bilingual road signs across Canada. The Act also does not make French or English the "official" language, but rather recognizes them as equally important languages in Canada.
