How Laws Are Made in Canada
Canada’s law-making process ensures that legislation reflects the values and needs of Canadians while respecting the Constitution. Laws can be proposed by the federal or provincial governments and must go through a structured process that includes debate, review, and approval.
Key steps in the law-making process include:
Introduction of a bill in Parliament or a provincial legislature
Debates and readings in the House of Commons or provincial assemblies
Senate or legislative council review for federal bills
Royal Assent by the Governor General or Lieutenant Governor to become law
This process ensures that laws are carefully considered, reflect the will of elected representatives, and protect the rights of Canadians. For official details, visit Government of Canada – How Laws Are Made.
