English

Subject field(s)
  • History (General)
  • Parliamentary Language
CONT

Under responsible government the executive depends for its right to remain in office on the continuing support of a majority of the elected legislature. Responsible government is cabinet government.

OBS

The ministers are collectively responsible to the House for the actions of government. The legislative branch of government thus exercises control over the executive.

Victoire du 11 mars 1848, autre date tournante dans l'histoire canadienne. Le lien ombilical tient toujours, plus étiré que tranché. Cette fois pourtant, c'est bien la victoire définitive du «gouvernement responsable».

OBS

Les ministres sont collectivement responsables des actions du gouvernement devant la Chambre. C'est ainsi que l'organe législatif du gouvernement exerce un contrôle sur l'exécutif.
