Thesis:
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the roles and responsibilities of the Prime Minister of Canada and evaluate his or her powers to identify whether or not these powers are limited in any way to fulfill the proper role of Prime Minister. The paper will outline the justified Prime Ministerial role while analyzing his or her functions while assessing the day to day decisions which directly affect the people of Canada
This Paper will argue that, although the seat of the Prime Minister gives the highest power in our nation, the current role does not have too much power and he or she uses their powers to create the best possible country by making the decisions which are necessary to allow stability throughout the entire government and nation. The Limitations placed on his or her role lead to a balance of power throughout the unique provinces and allow decisions to be made which are for the greater good of each region and in turn our entire great nation.
Outline:
Prime Minister is broadly defined as a chief minister appointed by a ruler. The Prime Minister is also the head of the cabinet and often also the chief executive of a parliamentary democracy.
- We must first identify the role and responsibilities which entail the Prime Ministerial title. For the sake of this paper, the Prime Minister is the head of government, not the head of state. He formerly directs the activities of the day which in turn affect the every day lives of citizens across Canada. He is responsible to both the House of Commons and Senate which are responsible to the legialative branch of government.
- The Government and it's policies directly relate to those
