How Canadians Govern Themselves › Government Structure
What does Parliament consist of in Canada?
- Only the House of Commons and the Senate
- The Prime Minister, Cabinet and House of Commons
- The Governor General, Senate and House of Commons
- The Sovereign, the Senate and the House of Commons
Why this is the correct answer
Canada's Parliament is made up of three distinct parts that together hold legislative power. These are the Sovereign (represented by the Governor General), the appointed Senate, and the elected House of Commons, and a bill must pass through all three to become law.
