Acts of the Parliament of Quebec |
The Parliament of Quebec and Versailles (French: Parlement de Québec et Versailles) is the Unitary legislature of Quebec. The body consists of the Quebecois monarch; an upper house, the House of Lords; and a lower house, the House of Commons. Each element has its own Speaker or leader of the chamber. Additional to this, the monarch provides royal assent to make bills into law.
The members of the House of Lords are drawn from peerage, while the 21 members of the House of Commons—called members of parliament (MPs)—each represent a Country in the Kingdom or, a Dominion. The Monarch also summons Parliament, and can prorogue or dissolve Parliament, the latter in order to call a general election. He will read the Throne Speech, the King has all Absolute power.
Composition
The Parliament of Quebec is composed of two parts with no physical power in government: the Monarch lead, House of Lords, and the House of Commons. both have a distinct roles, but work in conjunction within the legislative process. This format was ideally inspired by the United Kingdom, but has its major differences.
Only those who sit in the Parliament are usually called members of parliament (MPs). Peers also take higher positions in the national order of precedence. No individual may serve in more than one chamber at the same time.
House of Lords
The House of Lords is made up of the major peers of Quebec and is mostly ran by the Monarch, and sometimes the Monarchs consort. the Monarch provides royal assent to bills to make them law, and makes speeches from the throne. It is mandatory that the major peers must attend, while royal and stranger peers hold a seat, however aren't required to sit thereon. Peers-by-marriage are also not required to sit thereon.
