Evaluating color depends on these three factors; even a small change in either one can make a huge difference in color evaluation. 2, record 1, English, - colour%20evaluation

The Canadian Honours System ensures that we, as proud Canadians, recognize citizens who make a difference in our country through dedicated service to our communities, outstanding achievement, unselfish acts of bravery and meritorious behaviour. In presenting these honours to deserving Canadians, we pay tribute to exceptional contributions that have enriched not only the country but also the world. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is the fount of our Canadian Honours System. As our Sovereign, only the Queen of Canada can approve the creation of an honour, based on the recommendation of the Government of Canada. The Governor General administers all responsibilities relating to Canadian Honours on the Queen's behalf. 1, record 2, English, - Canadian%20Honours%20System
