History of Canada (1960–81)
The history of Canada (1960–1981) refers to the period immediately following the prosperous 1950s until the new constitution of 1982, the Canada Act.
==Universal Suffrage==
In 1960, Prime Minister John Diefenbaker's government decided to permit all Status Indians to vote in federal elections. Since 1950, Status Indians had been allowed vote on the condition that they gave up their treaty rights and Indian status, defined in the Indian Act as "enfranchisement", or if they had fought in the First or Second World Wars. The Inuit and Métis were already able to vote at the time.〔(Electoral Insight ), Elections Canada, June 2000.〕
The "Act to Amend the Canada Elections Act", which removed the discriminatory parts of Section 14, was made into law on March 31, 1960. The 1968 election would make Leonard Marchand the first Status Indian to serve as a Member of Parliament. Status Indians would not be legally allowed to vote in all provincial elections until Quebec enfranchised them in 1969.〔(Aboriginal People: History of Discriminatory Laws ), Wendy Moss, Elaine Gardner-O'Toole, Law and Government Division, Last revised, November 1991〕
