		The Parliament of Canada (French: ´´Parlement du Canada´´) is Canada´s legislative branch, seated at Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario.
		According to Section 17 of the Constitution Act, 1867, Parliament consists of three components: the Sovereign (´´la Couronne´´), the Senate (´´le SÃ©nat´´), and the House of Commons (´´la Chambre des communes´´).
		The upper house, the Senate, rarely opposes the will of the other Chamber, and the duties of the Sovereign and Governor General are largely ceremonial, as in theory he or she could refuse to sign a bill, and could dismiss the cabinet and call an election unprompted.

	Mapleleafweb.com: Canada’s Parliamentary Government
		In Canada, this practice is commonly referred to as “responsible government,” in that the Prime Minister and Cabinet are responsible to the House of Commons, the nationally elected legislature.
		Canada’s particular Parliamentary system is referred to as a “Westminster Model.” This model was first developed by the British and is named after the Palace of Westminster, which houses the British Parliament.
		Any restrictions on the power of Parliament, it is suggested, represent a limit on democracy and the ability of citizens to influence the direction of their government and national public policy.

		Statement in the Parliament of Canada, February 16, 2001, concerning the legislative imperative to respond to oil development in Sudan.
		Speaker, oil development in the Sudan may not be a cause of one of the most deadly killing fields in the world, where two million have died and four million internally displaced, but it is certainly a catalyst, if not a condition, for its continuance and the obstacle to any peace.
		Canada must use its good offices to press the Sudanese government to cease and desist from its scorched earth policy, to negotiate peace in good faith and to provide its people with food rather than target them with oil generated weapons.

		Nowhere is there any acknowledgement that Canada’s public health care system needs shoring up through a clear commitment to public, not-for-profit health care and an increased role for government in providing an expanded system of health services such as home care and pharmacare.
		Canada’s commitment should be to address these issues in an international context to strengthen training opportunities so that a world wide shortage of health care workers is not perpetuated.

		In the next decade, many of the same conditions applied, except for the important difference that there was little turnover in the membership of the House during the next three elections and therefore fewer opportunities arose to elect additional women.
		The new political finance provisions, which had been adopted by Parliament in 2003, included contribution limits for individuals, corporations and unions, and spending limits for nomination contestants, thereby reducing a key barrier for women, the ability to raise funds for an electoral campaign.
		Of the 19 members of Parliament elected from the N.D.P., 5 are women, representing 26% of the party's membership in the House.
