Question Type

The correct answer will be explicitly stated as something that was supposed to occur as a result of the constitutional protection of aboriginal rights.
a
definition of the ββββ ββ ββββββββ ββββββ ββββ βββββ ββ ββββββββββ βββββββββ
The passage doesnβt state that the constitutional reforms were intended to define the property rights applicable to aboriginal societies.
b
establishment of the βββββββ βββββ ββ ββββββ ββ βββ βββββββ ββ ββββββββββ ββββββ
The passage doesnβt state this. The Supreme Court probably is the arbiter of aboriginal rights, but you canβt point to any line indicating that the reforms were intended to make the Supreme Court the arbiter.
c
recognition of traditional βββββββ βββ βββ βββββ ββ ββββββ ββββββ

d
clarification of which ββββββ ββββββββ βββ ββββββββββ ββββββββββ ββ ββββββ
The passage doesnβt state this as one of the intentions of the constitutional reforms. Although the reforms do extend protection to the Indian, Inuit, and Metis peoples, this doesnβt imply that the reforms were intended to βclarifyβ which groups are protected. Thereβs a difference between identifying groups that are protected and βclarifyingβ which ones are protected. βClarifyingβ implies that there was some potential confusion about which groups were protected.
e
creation of local βββββββββββ βββ ββββββββββ βββββββββββ
The passage doesnβt state this as one of the intentions of the constitutional reforms.
