APA citation

Published

I'm hoping someone can help. I'm using an Act (Canadian Multiculturalism Act). I have the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association Sixth edition in front of me but I can't find this answer.

This Act was made in 1985 but amended in 2003.

I have figured out in text citation should say

Canadian Multiculturalism Act(???)

I'm not sure what year to put down.

I'd love any help thank you.

I used that site for the general layout of my nursing term paper this semester. You are right, it is a wonderful section.

I had time to further research this subject this evening, and apparently I was wrong.

According to the Government Documents - APA Citation Style Guide (6th ed.) - Guides at Douglas College (a Canadian school) the APA Style Manual does not cover Canadian government publications. They do, however, provide their interpretation of how these publications could be cited.
