What are the responsibilities of the federal government in Canada?

  1. Education, health, and policing

  2. Municipal governance and culture

  3. Defence, foreign policy, and inter-provincial trade

  4. Tourism, sports, and entertainment

The correct answer is: Defence, foreign policy, and inter-provincial trade

The federal government in Canada has a wide range of responsibilities, but education, health, and policing all fall under the jurisdiction of the provincial governments. Municipal governance and culture are typically the responsibility of the local governments, while tourism, sports, and entertainment are largely overseen by provincial and municipal governments as well. The main responsibilities of the federal government in Canada include defence, foreign policy, and regulating inter-provincial trade. This involves maintaining the safety and security of the country, representing Canada on the international stage, and ensuring fair and efficient trade between provinces. These responsibilities are outlined in the Constitution Act, 1867 and the Constitution Act, 1982.
