Provincial Governments Focus on Saskatchewan

The comparison: Federal and provincial Look at Parliament and the Legislature? What do you notice? Senate Essay tie-in. Cabinet: In Canada's parliamentary system of government, the Cabinet is the committee of ministers that holds executive power. Cabinets are chaired by the Prime Minister (or in the provinces, by a premier) and ministers are most often elected politicians drawn from the party holding the most seats in the House of Commons (or the provincial legislature). Cabinets are traditionally strong, consensus-driven institutions, although some believe their influence is waning in the face of powerful prime ministers and their advisers. Ministries: A government department headed by a minister of state.

The Background The powers of the provincial governments are outlined in Section 92 of the British North America Act. The constitution gives provincial legislatures the right to pass laws on a number of matters, most of which are purely regional. Like the federal government, there are three branches: The executive, Legislative, and the judicial. Who does what?

The Executive It has the basic structure of the federal executive. It is made up of:  The Monarchy, represented by the lieutenant-governor. The Premier. The Cabinet. The Public service. The Cabinet is the committee of ministers that holds executive power. The Public Service of Canada, known as the Civil Service of Canada prior to 1967, is the civil service, or bureaucracy, of the Government of Canada. Its function is to serve as the staff of the Canadian state. The head of the Public Service of Canada is the Clerk of the Privy Council and he or she is Canada's senior serving civil servant.

The Legislative It is Modelled after the House of Commons. Provincial bills become law the same way Federal ones do. However there is no Provincial Senate.

The Legislative Federally, A bill becomes a law by … Note: The only difference provincially Is the lack of a provincial senate.

The Judicial This branch administers justice by interpreting and applying laws, protecting the rights of citizens, and punishing those who break laws.  It is comprised of Canada’s system of courts and judges and operates independently from the other branches of government. Did I ever tell you about the time my car was stolen from the school parking lot?

Federal/provincial issues The challenge in Canada today is to keep the nation unified amid cries for the strengthening of Provincial powers. Provinces have been demanding more power in the following areas (just to name a few):   Immigration, Economic Issues, Resource Development, Supreme Court appointments, and Senate appointments and reform.

H1N1 Crisis: The H1N1 virus (swine flu) is an infection of the nose, throat, and lungs. It is caused by the H1N1 influenza virus. But the cartoon can refer to any federal/provincial partnership.

Assignment Draw the diagram on p. 262 comparing the federal and provincial governments. Explain the differences between the provincial and federal levels of government in the way they are organized and pass bills. Do you think the differences are important? Why or why not? Summarize the challenges facing provincial governments as outlined on p. 263 - education, environment, and federal/provincial relations. With a partner, complete question 48 on page 264. Put some thought into it!!! You may get called on to share your answer!!!
