Parliament of Canada

parl.ca

The Parliament of Canada is the federal legislative branch of Canada, consisting of the Canadian monarch, the Senate, and the House of Commons, each with its own organization. The House of Commons, made up of 308 elected members, is the dominant branch, while the Senate reviews legislation from a less partisan perspective. The governor general appoints Senate members on the Prime Minister's advice, and the monarch provides Royal Assent to make bills law. Located at Parliament Hill in Ottawa, it plays a crucial role in Canadian democracy.
