  Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs (Canada) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The post of Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs (French: Ministre des Affaires intergouvernementales) is the member of the Cabinet of Canada responsible for the federal government's relations with the governments of the provinces and territories of Canada.
The Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs does not head a full-fledged department, but rather the Intergovernmental Affairs Secretariat within the Privy Council Office.
Since the post's establishment, all Ministers of Intergovernmental Affairs except Pierre Pettigrew have concurrently served as President of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada.

 Politics of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Canada is a constitutional monarchy and a Commonwealth Realm (see Monarchy in Canada) with a federal system of parliamentary government, and strong democratic traditions.
The political system under which Canada operates, known as the Westminster system, was enshrined by the British Parliament in the Constitution Act, 1867 (also known as the British North America Act), but the federal model and division of powers were devised by Canadian politicians.
Minority government situations in Canada may become somewhat difficult to manage though, as in the past there were only three parties that had a significant number of seats in parliament (fourth parties were at times represented in small numbers), although the third party has changed over time.

 Prime Minister of Canada - Voyager, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The Prime Minister of Canada (French: Premier ministre du Canada), the head of the Government of Canada, is usually the leader of the political party with the most seats in the Canadian House of Commons.
Since the prime minister is, in practice, the most powerful member of the Canadian government, he or she is sometimes erroneously referred to as Canada's head of state.
The function, duties, responsibilities, and powers of the Prime Minister of Canada were established at the time the country was created as a self-governing dominion in 1867 and were modeled upon those of the existing office of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
