Explanation
Great Britain recognized Canada as an independent country via the "Statute of Westminster," which was an Act of the UK Parliament passed in 1931. The Act permitted Canada to have full legislative autonomy from Great Britain and confirmed all legislative policymaking functions in relation to its territories were handled independently by countries within the commonwealth such as Canada.
