The Act has been debated since its passage. Supporters argue it protects Canada’s unity by preventing misleading questions or narrow votes from triggering secession talks. Critics contend it gives too much power to Parliament over provincial self‑determination and that terms like “clear majority” remain undefined, leaving important decisions to political judgment rather than strict legal criteria.
