A bill needs Royal Assent before it becomes law in Canada.

Discover Canada records this in one direct sentence about the legislative process. The guide writes: Both the House of Commons and the Senate consider and review bills (proposals for new laws). No bill can become law in Canada until it has been passed by both chambers and has received royal assent, granted by the Governor General on behalf of the Sovereign. The status the test wants is therefore true — a bill needs royal assent before it becomes law in Canada.

Three precise commitments. Discover Canada commits the bill-to-law process to THREE specific facts: (1) the bill must be passed by both chambers (House of Commons AND Senate); (2) the bill must receive royal assent; (3) royal assent is granted by the Governor General on behalf of the Sovereign. So all three named conditions are essential before a bill becomes law.

Royal assent is the named final step. Discover Canada commits the legislative process to a specific seven-step sequence: First Reading; Second Reading; Committee Stage; Report Stage; Third Reading; Senate (similar process); and finally "Royal Assent — The bill receives royal assent after being passed by both Houses." So royal assent comes after both chambers have approved the bill — making it the named final constitutional step.

The Governor General performs royal assent. Discover Canada commits the named royal-assent role to the Governor General, who is the named representative of the Sovereign in Canada. "The Sovereign is represented in Canada by the Governor General, who is appointed by the Sovereign on the advice of the Prime Minister, usually for five years." So the Governor General grants royal assent on behalf of the King or Queen — completing the named constitutional process. The named sequence reflects Canada's constitutional monarchy: bills pass the elected House of Commons (representative chamber), the appointed Senate (review chamber), and finally receive the named royal assent that gives them the force of law. Without royal assent, no bill can become law — making the named royal-assent step essential. So when the test asks whether a bill needs royal assent before it becomes law in Canada, the source-precise answer is true.

The question is testing whether new citizens know whether royal assent is required for a bill to become law. Discover Canada commits to one named requirement: royal assent, granted by the Governor General on behalf of the Sovereign. The right test answer matches that — true.

The wrong answer ("False") reverses the source — a bill DOES need royal assent. Without it, no bill can become law in Canada. Only the true answer matches the source.
