The Parliament of Canada is the federal legislative body responsible for making laws, overseeing government operations, and representing the interests of Canadians. It consists of three components: the Monarch (represented by the Governor General), the Senate, and the House of Commons. The Monarch's role is largely ceremonial, with the Governor General performing constitutional duties on behalf of the Crown. The Senate, composed of appointed Senators, reviews and revises legislation proposed by the House of Commons, providing sober second thought. The House of Commons, made up of Members of Parliament (MPs) elected by Canadian citizens, is the primary legislative chamber where proposed laws (bills) are debated, amended, and voted upon. The party with the majority of seats in the House forms the government, headed by the Prime Minister. Parliament plays a crucial role in Canada's democratic governance, ensuring accountability, transparency, and the representation of diverse interests and perspectives.
