When was the Official Languages Act passed?

  1. 1969

  2. 1980

  3. 1967

  4. 1988

The correct answer is: 1969

The other options are incorrect because the Official Languages Act, which recognizes English and French as the two official languages of Canada, was passed in 1969. Option B 1980 is not correct because although the Canadian Constitution was patriated in 1982, it did not include the Official Languages Act. Option C: 1967 is not correct because although the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism released its report in 1967, the Official Languages Act was not yet passed. Option D: 1988 is also incorrect because this was the year that the Act was amended, not the year it was originally passed. Therefore, option A: 1969 is the only correct answer.
