Why this is the answer
From the official Discover Canada study guide — 1.3.1 Multiculturalism:
Multiculturalism is a fundamental characteristic of Canada's heritage and identity. Many different peoples live in the country, and that mix is treated as a gift rather than a problem. Canadians celebrate one another's presence instead of merely putting up with it. Pluralism — many cultures and beliefs sharing one country — is respected, and people work hard to live together in harmony. Multiculturalism appears in the Charter beside the other major rights, which shows how seriously the country takes it.
