The Parliament of Canada is the federal legislature of Canada, seated at Parliament Hill in Ottawa, and is composed of three parts: the Monarch, the Senate, and the House of Commons. By constitutional convention, the House of Commons is dominant, with the Senate rarely opposing its will. The Senate reviews legislation from a less partisan standpoint and may initiate certain bills. The monarch or her representative, normally the governor general, provides royal assent to make bills into law.

The governor general, on behalf of the monarch, summons and appoints the 105 senators on the advice of the prime minister, while the 338 members of the House of Commons—called members of Parliament (MPs)—each represent an electoral district, commonly referred to as a riding, and are elected by Canadian voters residing in the riding.

In his or her own right, the governor general also summons and calls together the House of Commons, on behalf of the monarch, while either the monarch or governor general, the latter as ex officio viceroy, can prorogue or dissolve Parliament, in order to either end a parliamentary session or call a general election. Either will deliver and read the Throne Speech.

The body consists of the Canadian monarch, represented by a viceroy, the governor general; an upper house, the Senate, and a lower house, the House of Commons. Each element has its own officers and organization. Each has a distinct role, but work in conjunction within the legislative process. This format was inherited from the United Kingdom and 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.

Only those who sit in the House of Commons are usually called members of Parliament (MPs), the term is not usually applied to senators (except in legislation, such as the Parliament of Canada Act), even though the Senate is a part of Parliament. Though legislatively less powerful, senators take higher positions in the national order of precedence. No individual may serve in more than one chamber at the same time.
