		Generally speaking, the Canadian political system embodies the four following characteristics: it is a constitutional monarchy; it is a federal system; it is a parliamentary system on the British model; and it is a representative democracy.
		At the federal level, the leader of the party (which is determined by elections by members of that party) that obtains the majority of seats becomes Prime Minister of Canada, and chooses his or her ministers.
		In reality, the Governor General's role in the legislative process is purely a formality (albeit an essential one), since he (or she) may not in practice refuse to give royal assent to a bill enacted by the two Houses.

		Because a general election follows, the timing of a dissolution is usually politically motivated, with the Prime Minister selecting the moment most advantageous to his or her political party.
