An overview of the canadian house of commons, its role in the lawmaking process, and the key players involved. The house of commons is the most important branch of the canadian legislative government, with the leader of the majority party serving as the speaker and representative of the queen. The prime minister appoints a group of ministers, known as 'ministers responsible for,' who help shape legislation. The majority party in the house of commons consists of members of parliament (m.p's) elected by voters, while other parties are represented by members of parliament with fewer seats. The senate, an appointed body, serves as a second chamber for reviewing laws made in the house of commons, with a total of 105 members.
