Established by the Constitution Act of 1867, it operates under the Canadian Crown, represented by King Charles III and Governor General Mary Simon. The government is led by the Prime Minister, currently Justin Trudeau, and includes over 300,000 employees across more than 100 departments and agencies. The Government of Canada focuses on providing services related to democracy, government operations, policy implementation, and intergovernmental relations. It manages federal elections, enforces laws, and delivers programs in various sectors such as finance, energy, and transportation. The government works collaboratively with provinces, territories, Indigenous governments, and international partners to ensure effective governance and public service delivery for all Canadian citizens and residents.
