Document Summary
Senate reform poses very interesting changes in. Canadian politics: complete abolition of the senate is not likely to happen. The executive branch of government does not make law: they make policy. There are many very important things that s/he does: in a presidential system the president is both the head of state and the head of government. Cabinet ministers are basically a managerial position and does actual very little work. They rely heavily on the bureaucracy and the deputy. Ministers: it is important for the pm to make his cabinet representative of all. Canadians: sometimes the prime minister will then go to the senate to fill. Government harper: why do ministers not often speak about the working of cabinet, collective responsibility. While individual ministers have responsibility to their specific department. All ministers are responsible for all policies. There is supposed to be cabinet solidarity.
