Abstract:	Examined are Canadian policies & practices associated with citizenship, immigration, bilingualism, human rights, & multiculturalism, arguing that these policies & practices have established a social justice infrastructure in Canadian society. A brief historical review of key policy developments is presented, & it is shown that the concept of Canadian citizenship is inextricably connected to Canadian immigration policies, the relations between French & English, & the status of treaty Indians & Inuit. The development of Canada’s social justice infrastructure is examined via analyses of French-English relations, immigration reform, & constitutional reform. It is concluded that social justice can be substantially enhanced in Canada by intensifying efforts to achieve confluence among policies.
