The policymaking process in Canada follows the stages of initiation (identifying a need for policy), priority-setting (deciding which issues should be addressed first), policy formation (developing the policy options), legitimation (ensuring the policy is accepted as valid and legitimate), implementation (putting the policy into action), and interpretation (monitoring and evaluating the policy's outcomes). This is best described by choice B as it has the correct sequence of these stages.
