Document Summary

R. macgregor dawson, the government of canada, 5th ed. revised by norman ward (toronto: Any earnest literal-minded student who would endeavour to learn about canadian government by nothing more than a conscientious examination of the [constitution act] would be shocked to discover that the dominion is ruled as follows. The executive government and authority of canada is vested in the sovereign, who is apparently represented by a governor general (sections 9, 10). Council, which he chooses, and summons, and removes (11), and which advises him in his work (12, 13). The sovereign is commander-in-chief of all naval and military forces in canada (15). The governor general appoints the speaker of the senate (34) and virtually all of the judges (96). He appoints all the members of one house of the legislature (24).
