Since 1982, all of Canada's constitutional acts have emanated from the Canadian Parliament.

Among the main stages in this evolution are: 1) ratification by the British Parliament of the Statute of Westminster, 1931, which conferred on Canada full authority over its own foreign policy, and 2) ratification, again by the British Parliament, of the Canada Act, 1982*, which notably provided for the "repatriation" of the Constitution, thus granting Canada its political independence. Canada's becoming an independent state was a gradual process. Most of the acts that established the provinces and territories of the Canadian federation, are acts of the British Parliament, as the federal union in 1867 did not mark Canada's independence from Great Britain. Today, Canada includes ten provinces and three territories. In the course of time, all the other British possessions in North America joined or were integrated into the Canadian federation, under circumstances specific to each. In 1867, three colonies in British North America, Canada, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, united to form a "Federal Union" called Canada.
