POLITICAL SYSTEM OF CANADA

Canada is an independent federal parliamentary state. The Queen of Great Britain,

Elizabeth II, is the official head of the state, but the Governor General acts as her
representative. Canada combines the American federal form of government with the
British cabinet system.
As a federation, Canada is made up of ten provinces and three territories. Canadian
central government in Ottawa represents all the peoples of Canada. Each province has its
own government and parliament.
Parliament of Canada consists of two houses, the Upper House called the Senate, and the
Lower House called the House of Commons. The Senate has 104 members. Senators are
appointed by the Governor General on the recommendation of the Prime Minister. The
Senate has less power than the House of Commons. Members of the House of Commons
are elected for a term of five years. The cabinet system of Canada unites the legislative
and the executive branches. The Prime Minister and the Cabinet are usually members of
the House of Commons, which is the highest authority in the government. The Cabinet
consists of 20 or more ministers, chosen by the Prime Minister from leaders of the
majority party in the House of Commons.
Today most of the Governor General’s powers have disappeared and he follows the
directions of the Cabinet.
The two leading political parties in Canada are the Progressive Conservative Party and
the Liberal Party. The New Democratic Party is also rather influential.

Tell about the political system of Canada according to the following plan.
1. Form of government.
2. The administrative structure.
3. Head of state.
4. The Parliament.
5. The Cabinet.

Before the 15th century Canada was populated by different Indian tribes. In the far north

Newfoundland in 1497. Then many settlements of Spanish, English and French fishermen
appeared on the coasts of Newfoundland.
Great Britain gained control of the country in 1763, and thousands of British emigrants
came to Canada. In 1867, the French and English-speaking Canadians helped to create a
united colony called the Dominion of Canada.
Canada gained its independence from Britain in 1931. During the middle of 20th
century, hard-working Canadians turned their country into an economic giant.
The Constitution of the country was only adopted in 1982.

many more competences and rights.
