  4. The Canadian government had the right to make decisions about everyday activities needed to run the country, but any decisions that might affect the empire had to be approved by the government of Britain. For example, Canada’s foreign policy was controlled by the British government.

  5. Foreign policy is a set of ideas that affects all the decisions a country makes about its relationships with other countries, such as who its trading partners are and whether or not it should go to war. In many ways, foreign policy is key to a country’s independence.
