  • The Canadian Parliament
    THE CANADIAN PARLIAMENT THE CANADIAN PARLIAMENT ur system of government is part of the reason why Canada is known Oaround the world as a good place to live. Canada’s parliamentary system is open and democratic. It offers the opportunity for people to give their input and it is designed to make sure proposals for laws are carefully considered. Canada’s Parliament consists of three parts: the Queen, the Senate and the House of Commons. They work together to make the laws for our country. The executive branch consists of the Queen, the Prime Minister and Cabinet, and the departments of government. They implement the laws. The legislative branch makes the laws, and the judicial branch — which is not part of Parliament — interprets them.
