The Parliament of Canada is composed of three parts: the monarch, the Senate, and the House of Commons.[1] Each has a distinct role, but work in conjunction within the legislative process. This format was inherited from the United Kingdom, and thus is a near identical copy of the parliament at Westminster, the greatest differences stemming from situations unique to Canada, such as the impermanent nature of the monarch's residency in the country and the lack of a peerage to form the upper chamber.

Regardless of what anyone said about Trudeau's reforms in the 80s, Canada's government is now and always has been based almost 100% on the British system.
