How to discuss ( agree and or disagree) with this statement" There remain vestigial systems in the Canadian government that have the ability to regulate the actions of the federal government, but these have also been increasingly limited amidst controversy and obsolescence. As these institutional responsibilities are phased out of Crown hands, other branches of the government pick up the slack. The Prime Minister's Office, and the Prime Minister, have taken up most of the responsibilities of the Governor General, such as calling and dismissing parliament, setting the daily agenda, measures of war and defense, appointing officials, and international dignitary work. In turn the Judiciary has increasingly received the ability to balance out the legislature and hold them accountable to constitutional law.
