The Canadian Multiculturalism Act (multiculturalism policy within) has contributed significantly to forming the Canadian identity, has given Canada a competitive advantage in the global economy and enforces the concept of human rights. The emergence of multiculturalism in Canada dates back to the 1960s, a period of growing independence and self-expression in the province of Quebec. To address this change in thought and behaviour, the federal government created the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism. The following year Ukrainian-Canadians and other ethnic groups (making up 25 percent of the national population at the time) began demanding increased support for non-Anglo/Francophone citizens. It was only until 1971 that Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau decided to modify the bicultural assimilation model, previously used by the Royal Commission, to better suit the growing variety of cultures in Canada.
