		The Clarity Act (2000) is federal legislation that enables provinces to legally secede from Canada.
		The Clarity Act (2000) states that the Government of Canada will not enter into negotiation on secession unless the House of Commons determines that there has been a clear expression of a will by a clear majority of the population of that province that the province cease to be part of Canada.
		Essentially, the Clarity Act is an extension of the Supreme Court’s opinion that a province cannot secede unilaterally, but that the Government of Canada is obligated to negotiate a secession if there is a "clear mandate on a clear question." But the Clarity Act still leaves many things unclear.

		Subsection (c)(2) is substituted for 49:1653(e)(3) for clarity and to conform to subtitle IV of the revised title.
		The words "in addition to the authority to delegate and redelegate contained in any other Act in the exercise of the functions transferred to or vested in the Secretary in this chapter" before "delegate" in 49:1657(e)(1) are omitted because the authority of the Secretary to delegate is consolidated in the subsection.

		Secondly, the Act itself is not going to alter greatly the situation because, for one, as legal experts point out, even in the absence of the Act t he judiciary would not have dismissed an evidence just because it is in the nature of an e-mail or an electronic document.
		Given this, the Act, however, does not specify the penalty in case "digital signatures" are not appended in the particular manner dictated by the Act.
		The Act speaks of a secure electronic transaction only in the context of electronic records to which government-prescribed security procedures are applied.

		One of the key requirements for efficient and effective administration of the Workers’ Compensation Act is clarity in the Act itself.
		If the provisions of the Act are clear, those charged with administering it - and, more importantly, all those affected by it - will know the rules governing entitlement to benefits.
		Clarity will assist with resolving the current appeals backlog, and will help avoid creation of the new backlogs that will surely result if there are frequent court challenges to the future interpretation of Bill 90's provisions.

	Virginia Property Owner's Association Act Lacks Clarity - Incomplete Disclosure
		We argued unsuccessfully that an association disclosure package as defined by the Act was never delivered to the buyers and that the buyers' right to rescind continued for months after the ratification of the real estate sales contract.
		The buyers asserted in the opening statement and at closing argument that their signature on the addendum did not relieve the seller of its statutory requirements and was ineffective as a waiver thereof.
		Assuming "association disclosure packet" is susceptible to two meanings, i.e., one definition referring to the packet as described in the Act and the other being the documentation physically delivered by the seller, extrinsic evidence and the rules of construction must be used to determine the legislative intent.

		He says the Clarity Act may have support outside Quebec, but is the source of a new political storm brewing in Quebec that ultimately will be counterproductive to resolving the sovereignty issue.
		He says the Clarity Act is a wise attempt to lay down ground rules for a future referendum on Quebec separation.

	Letter: The Clarity Act Is Relevant - And Is Irrelevant. - Galganov.com
		Brigitte Pellerin of the Ottawa Citizen newspaper says (June 3, 2004) it's time to scrap the Clarity Act, the legislation which gives Ottawa the right to refuse to negotiate Québec's secession following a secessionist referendum victory, if Ottawa decides that the referendum did not abide by the requirements of the Act.
		In future referendums, I would argue that the publicity surrounding the Clarity Act will make it increasingly difficult for even the most ingenious dissemblers to fool so many of these uncertain separatists.
		I do agree however, that the Clarity Act is weakened by Ottawa's silence on the use of force to defend its integrity.

		In 2004, Layton dismissed the Clarity Act as unhelpful.

		In its 1998 ruling, the court stated that a series of practical issues, which were listed in its decision, would have to be negotiated before a province could be permitted to leave the federation.
		Instead of clarifying its position on each issue, the Clarity Act simply states, "No Minister of the Crown shall propose a constitutional amendment to effect the secession of a province from Canada unless the Government of Canada has addressed, in its negotiations...
		The Commons hearings mandated by the Clarity Act certainly appear to have been designed to be as cumbersome as possible.

		The Clarity Act, introduced in 1999 and passed in 2000, states that Quebec would only be able to achieve sovereignty after negotiations following a referendum in which the House of Commons had concluded that the question and the answer were both clear.
		When asked later about the fact his Quebec lieutenant Jean Lapierre had called the Clarity Act "useless," Martin argued Lapierre was saying what was needed were policies that would never make it necessary for Quebec to have a referendum.
