What are the responsibilities of the Provincial/Territorial government in Canada?

  1. Only natural resource management

  2. Only international trade

  3. Municipal government, education, healthcare, natural resources, property & civil rights and highways.

  4. Only policing and criminal justice

The correct answer is: Municipal government, education, healthcare, natural resources, property & civil rights and highways.

Provincial and Territorial governments in Canada have a wide range of responsibilities. These include municipal government, education, healthcare, natural resources, property and civil rights, as well as highways. Option A is incorrect because natural resource management is just one of the many responsibilities held by these governments. Option B is incorrect as it only mentions international trade, which is not a key responsibility of these governments. Option D is also incorrect as it only mentions policing and criminal justice, which is only a small portion of the overall responsibilities. The most accurate answer is C because it includes all the essential responsibilities of the Provincial/Territorial government in Canada.
