Canada's History › Key Events
What was the significance of the Statute of Westminster in 1931?
- It established Canada's official national symbols
- It created the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
- It gave Canada full independence and made it a fully self-governing Dominion
- It united all provinces under one federal government
Why this is the correct answer
Before the Statute of Westminster in 1931, Canada's laws could still be overridden by Britain, and Canada had limited control over its foreign policy. After 1931, Canada became a fully self-governing nation, equal in status to Britain within the Commonwealth.
