The legislative and executive branches of the federal government is divided into three parts, with the Queen being the head of those: The House of Commons, the Prime Minister, and the Senate. The House of Commons creates Canada’s laws. Canadian Citizens elect the ones who work at the House of Commons. That is why Canada is considered as a Democracy. Individuals who work at the House of Commons are gone by Members of Parliament (MPs) and belong to a political party. The political party that has most amount of MPs at the House of Commons becomes the majority and its leader becomes the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister’s job is to choose MPs to serve as Ministers in the “cabinet”. There are several different jobs for these ministers. There are ministers for citizenship, immigration, justice and several other subjects. The ministers at the Cabinet make important decisions about the government. The Prime Minister is also considered as the most powerful man in Canada. The Senate reviews and passes laws proposed by the House of Commons. Individuals who work at the Senate are also chosen by the Prime Minister.
The following is a list of federal government responsibilities: Defense, criminal law, employment insurance, postal service, census, copyrights & patents, trade regulation, external relations, money and banking, transportation, citizenship, and aboriginal affairs.
