Government in Canada video record

Government in Canada

Canada is a constitutional monarchy. We have a monarch, Queen Elizabeth of England, as our Head of State. The Queen appoints a representative, the Governor General, who acts as Head of State. It is the Governor General and not the Queen who has a role in the Canadian government. The Constitution limits the powers of the Queen and the Governor General. In fact, they have very little power. Their role is mostly symbolic and ceremonial.

Canada has three levels of government, federal, provincial and municipal. Municipal government is government at the town and city level. Next, each of the ten provinces has its own provincial government. The three territories, Yukon, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories, have a territorial government. And last, there is one federal government for the country.  The federal government meets at Parliament Hill in Ottawa.  Ottawa is the capital of Canada.

In Canada we also have a parliamentary democracy. Canadians elect Members of Parliament at both the federal and provincial level. These Members of Parliament are responsible for making laws, raising money with taxes, and spending money on the services that they are responsible for.
