	Unique Facts about Canada: Canadian Independence
		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.
		The Canada Act 1982 is an Act of Parliament passed by the British Parliament that severed virtually all remaining constitutional and legislative ties between the United Kingdom and Canada.

	The Canada Health Act: Overview and Options (94-4E) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The Canada Health Act (hereafter called the Act) received Royal Assent on 1 April 1984. Through this Act, the federal government ensures that the provinces and territories meet certain requirements, such as free and universal access to insured health care. These requirements, or “national principles,” have helped shape provincial health-care insurance plans throughout the country.
		The discussion on national principles is part of a much broader picture, involving factors that are political (distribution of powers), fiscal (balancing the budget and responding to priorities other than health care), and economic (greater cost-effectiveness). It raises fundamental concerns about the public sector’s role, including that of the federal government, in health-care funding.
		May 1994 - In accordance with the Act, the Governor in Council withheld $1,750,000 in EPF transfer payments from British Columbia because some medical practitioners in that province had withdrawn from the government health-care insurance plan and resorted to extra-billing in 1993.

	Spousal Support Under Canada's Divorce Act
		Although the Act gives Canadian courts the authority, after having considered the evidence of the parties, to order spousal support payable as a lump sum, it is much more common to see it payable in periodic payments, usually monthly.
		The court must consider the "condition, means, needs and other circumstances of each spouse for whom support is sought including the length of time the spouses cohabited, the functions performed by the spouse during cohabitation and any order or agreement relating to support of the spouse" in deciding whether to grant spousal support.
		When this happens, the Act prevents a judge from later reviving the support payments past the cut-off date unless it is to relieve economic hardship resulting from a change in circumstances which, if it had existed at the time of the original order, would likely have resulted in a different order.
