The Parliament of Canada is the legislative branch of the federal government in Canada and makes the laws of Canada. Parliament is made up of three parts: the Crown or Queen, represented by the Governor General of Canada, the House of Commons and the Senate.
In Canada, nearly all the powers and authority of the Crown or Queen have been delegated to the Governor General of Canada. Although appointed by the Queen on the recommendation of the Prime Minister, the Governor General stands above politics. The role of the Canadian Governor General is mostly symbolic and ceremonial. The Governor General summons and dissolves Parliament, gives Royal Assent to legislation and signs government documents.
