Government of Canada

Summary The Liberal Government of Canada has promised the implementation of a new electoral system within the next 18 months according to the second chapter of the document Real Change: A New Plan for a Strong Middle Class. The document seeks to affirm that the 2015 election will be the last federal election held under the first-past-the-post electoral system and that many reform options will be thoroughly explored to replace it.

What is the open government partnership? Canada is a major signatory and member of the open government partnership, OGP which was launched in 2011 globally by G8 countries (Italy, Germany, United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Russia and France) to offer an international platform for national reformers dedicated to making their governments more open, responsible, and approachable to citizens. Since then, OGP has fully grown from eight countries to the 75 collaborating countries. All told

The need for government reform in Upper and Lower Canada was created because of the incompetent way the government managed the country, a lack of representation in the government, a lack of understanding of the colonist's in Upper and Lower Canada, and discrimination towards the French in Lower Canada. Numerous colonists arrived to Upper and Lower Canada to begin a new life with a proper government however, the government in Canada did not satisfy their needs. Firstly, the unskilled way the

The federal budget of Canada is constantly evolving to accommodate the ever changing issues of society. Building a budget for an individual can be tricky, but when building a budget for an entire country it can be detrimental to some citizens. Making cuts in one area can make huge impacts whether positively or negatively to a group of people.

The use of wealth dictates the entire world, and as a result, power, success, and improvement come with the logical and thoughtful control of money. So why does Canada strive for success if the government can’t cut funds towards useless motions? The Canadian government should fund the military less. As of 2016, the Canadian government spent $19 billion, roughly 1.35% of Canada’s total GDP funding the military. Recent political debate has run into this topic: is spending $19 billion on the Canadian

Canada is really big, and this causes a unique problem. Canada has an identity crisis. The Spicer Commission (Spicer, 1991) showed us that by giving us the Canada Clause, essentially stating Canada is one nation and a dual nations, three nations and multicultural, centralized and decentralized.

For example, directly following The Great Depression, public support for the Federal government was very high and Canada was described

regulations promulgated by various Government levels mainly at the Federal level at least for both the United States and Canada. Most of the time, if deemed necessary and if an existing compliance or certification is available, Governments will regulate that it be made mandatory. In other cases where there are no compliance scheme available, Governments will create their own test procedures to support their regulation. For example, in Canada, the Federal Government did create through its Hazardous

The truth is exactly the opposite. Refugees seeking protection in Canada are not threats to security, but are in fact, they are seeking security and protection from threats to their own lives. Refugees all go through a heavy front-end security screening that is done by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service upon their arrival in Canada. It is also much more difficult to enter Canada as a refugee. The refugee process involves security checks, fingerprinting and interviews

intentionally decentralized Canada. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council did fail in keeping in line with what the founders intended for Canada and may have even intentionally set out to decentralize the Canadian government, but this does not mean it had a negative impact on Canada.
