Introduction to the
Government of Canada

"A Mari Usque Ad Mare
- From Sea to Sea"

General Information Country Canada Established December 2007 Organisation Led by President (Prime Minister) Deputy Prime Minister (Deputy Prime Minister)

The Government of Canada is the executive branch headed by the President of Canada (referred to as the Prime Minister of Canada by Canadians). After his/her election, the Prime Minister decides what ministries should exist and their names.

The government's role is to exercise "general leadership of the public administration", elaborate strategies to implement the government platform, negotiate international treaties, etc. The Government of Canada represents the state of Canada both internally and externally and presents information to the citizens of Canada.

The Government answers exclusively to the Congress of Canada (referred to as the Parliament by Canadians), and in extreme cases, may vote a motion of removal of the President, withdrawing its confidence and forcing the Government to resign.

The following table shows the links to Canadian Governments formed from month to month.
