	British North America Acts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Canada and the other British dominions achieved full legislative sovereignty with the passage of the Statute of Westminster 1931, but prior to the Canada Act 1982 the British North America Acts were excluded from the operation of the Statute of Westminster and could only be amended by the British Parliament.
		By the Canada Act 1982, the British Parliament, acting at the request and with the consent of Canada, enacted the Constitution Act 1982, which established a procedure for the amendment of the Canadian constitution by the Canadian Parliament.
		This Act is not to be confused with the British North America Act 1949, later renamed the Newfoundland Act in 1982, which confirmed the terms of union between Newfoundland and Canada and made Newfoundland the tenth province.
