Parliament

Parliament Hill is among Canada's most recognizable heritage sites. It is within the walls of these buildings that Senators and Members of Parliament debate the important issues of the day and make our nation's laws.

Provincial Governments

"Canada now has 3 territories and 10 provinces. It is considered a federal state, since the various powers are divided between the central government and the provincial governments. The powers of the territorial governments are delegated by the federal government. The federal government is responsible for matters that concern Canada as a whole, such as interprovincial and international trade, national defence, criminal law, the banking and monetary systerms, and the fisheries. The provinces and territories are responsible for matters such as education, property and the administrations of justice, hospitals and municipalities. For the territories, federal laws regulate the election of territorial councils, whose powers - including passing territorial laws - are conferred by the federal government. The provinces, in contrast, have the power to pass laws in a number of areas." (Canada Year Book 2001, Minister of Industry, Canada, 2001.)
