This document revisits the original Multicultural Principles. The text is organized around each of the 10 Principles, which may be worded slightly differently than the original. In some instances, the language of certain Principles was revised to reflect current usage (e.g., the term components was replaced with the term services) and/or to be consistent

with current legislation. Appendix B provides the original 1991 text of the Multicultural Principles.
