To help improve the multicultural policy and keep it intact a minister for multiculturalism was appointed in 1972. Since then numerous committees and organizations have been set up. This includes things as translating books into both the national languages and other languages.(Knowledge gotten from all resources not only one)
Although this policy is a pretty good one it is not yet perfect. There are still a lot of things that need to be worked on yet. For example the law that states no matter what religion or cast you may be no one can be eliminated from doing things other religions can. This law was tested twice. In the 1980's a Sikh Canadian by the name of Baljit Dhillion was not allowed to become a police officer because of his religion and the fact that he had a turban. The RCMP petitioned they collected 200,000 mounties signatures agianst him. He was even threatened to death. After a long battle he finally won his case in the 1990's allowing other sikhs to become police officers as well, whether they did or did not have a turban. Another similar issue occured in 1998, a Sikh Canadian was not allowed to box due to the fact that he wore a turban and he had a beard, he battled this case in court and eventually was allowed to box with his turban. What these two example demonstrate is that even though multicultural policy is in effect, the government is still reluctant to allow some issues.(Toronto Star, April 11, 1999)
