Why was the Clarity Act created?

[nihalsari]

The Clarity Act was introduced in response to the 1995 Quebec referendum, where the vote on sovereignty was narrowly defeated. Lawmakers and the Supreme Court concluded that vague referendum wording and slim margins could create ambiguity about the true will of voters. The Act ensures future secession votes pose a precise question and a clearly expressed mandate before Canada’s government will negotiate.

hard to argue against clarity when the margin was that close and the question was doing olympic-level gymnastics.
