Clarity Act
The Clarity Act is a set of rules and laws made by the Canadian government to help provinces decide if they want to separate from Canada and become their own country.
Think of it like when you and your friend are playing together and one of you doesn't want to play anymore. You might ask your friend if they want to keep playing or if they want to go home. The Clarity Act is like the grown-up version of that, but for whole provinces instead of just friends playing together.
When a province wants to leave Canada, they have to follow the rules set out in the Clarity Act. One of the important rules is that the question of leaving has to be very clear. That means people in the province have to know exactly what they are voting on and what the outcome of the vote will be.
Another important rule is that the federal government has to be involved in the process. They need to make sure that the province follows the rules and that the vote is conducted fairly.
The Clarity Act was made to help make sure that if a province does want to leave Canada, it is done in a fair and clear way, and that nobody is treated unfairly or left out of the process.
